TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK`-fail in `tensorflow::full_type::SubstituteFromAttrs`
Impact
When [tensorflow::full_type::SubstituteFromAttrs](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/ops/math_ops.cc) receives a FullTypeDef& t that is not exactly three args, it triggers a CHECK-fail instead of returning a status.
```cpp
Status SubstituteForEach(AttrMap& attrs, FullTypeDef& t) {
DCHECK_EQ(t.args_size(), 3);
const auto& cont = t.args(0);
const auto& tmpl = t.args(1);
const auto& t_var = t.args(2);
`
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [6104f0d4091c260ce9352f9155f7e9b725eab012](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/6104f0d4091c260ce9352f9155f7e9b725eab012).
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.
