GitHub advisory

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.
