Fix: upgrade to 2.5.3 or later (3 fixed versions below)
GitHub advisory

Impact

Multiple operations in TensorFlow can be used to trigger a denial of service via CHECK-fails (i.e., assertion failures). This is similar to [TFSA-2021-198](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/security/advisory/tfsa-2021-198.md) (CVE-2021-41197) and has similar fixes.

Patches

We have patched the reported issues in multiple GitHub commits. It is possible that other similar instances exist in TensorFlow, we will issue fixes as these are discovered.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
