Impact

An input encoded that is not a valid CompositeTensorVariant tensor will trigger a segfault in [tf.raw_ops.CompositeTensorVariantToComponents](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/lib/core/py_func.cc).

```python

import tensorflow as tf

encode = tf.raw_ops.EmptyTensorList(element_dtype=tf.int32, element_shape=[10, 15], max_num_elements=2)

meta= ""

component=[tf.int32]

print(tf.raw_ops.CompositeTensorVariantToComponents(encoded=encode,metadata=meta,Tcomponents=component))

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commits [bf594d08d377dc6a3354d9fdb494b32d45f91971](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bf594d08d377dc6a3354d9fdb494b32d45f91971) and [660ce5a89eb6766834bdc303d2ab3902aef99d3d](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/660ce5a89eb6766834bdc303d2ab3902aef99d3d).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
