Segfault in tf.raw_ops.ImmutableConst

TensorFlow

Fix: upgrade to 2.1.4 or later (4 fixed versions below)

Impact

Calling [tf.raw_ops.ImmutableConst](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/raw_ops/ImmutableConst) with a dtype of tf.resource or tf.variant results in a segfault in the implementation as code assumes that the tensor contents are pure scalars.

```python

>>> import tensorflow as tf

>>> tf.raw_ops.ImmutableConst(dtype=tf.resource, shape=[], memory_region_name="/tmp/test.txt")

...

Segmentation fault

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in 4f663d4b8f0bec1b48da6fa091a7d29609980fa4 and will release TensorFlow 2.5.0 containing the patch. TensorFlow nightly packages after this commit will also have the issue resolved.

Workarounds

If using tf.raw_ops.ImmutableConst in code, you can prevent the segfault by inserting a filter for the dtype argument.
