Tensorflow vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds Read
Impact
When the [BaseCandidateSamplerOp](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/kernels/candidate_sampler_ops.cc) function receives a value in true_classes larger than range_max, a heap oob vuln occurs.
```python
tf.raw_ops.ThreadUnsafeUnigramCandidateSampler(
true_classes=[[0x100000,1]],
num_true = 2,
num_sampled = 2,
unique = False,
range_max = 2,
seed = 2,
seed2 = 2)
`
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [b389f5c944cadfdfe599b3f1e4026e036f30d2d4](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/b389f5c944cadfdfe599b3f1e4026e036f30d2d4).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
