Incomplete validation in `SparseReshape`
Impact
Incomplete validation in SparseReshape results in a denial of service based on a CHECK-failure.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
input_indices = tf.constant(41, shape=[1, 1], dtype=tf.int64)
input_shape = tf.zeros([11], dtype=tf.int64)
new_shape = tf.zeros([1], dtype=tf.int64)
tf.raw_ops.SparseReshape(input_indices=input_indices,
input_shape=input_shape,
new_shape=new_shape)
`
The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/e87b51ce05c3eb172065a6ea5f48415854223285/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_reshape_op.cc#L40) has no validation that the input arguments specify a valid sparse tensor.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [1d04d7d93f4ed3854abf75d6b712d72c3f70d6b6](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/1d04d7d93f4ed3854abf75d6b712d72c3f70d6b6).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2 and TensorFlow 2.3.3, as these are the only affected versions.
