TensorFlow vulnerable to `CHECK` failure in `TensorListReserve` via missing validation
Impact
In [core/kernels/list_kernels.cc's TensorListReserve](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/c8ba76d48567aed347508e0552a257641931024d/tensorflow/core/kernels/list_kernels.cc#L322-L325), num_elements is assumed to be a tensor of size 1. When a num_elements of more than 1 element is provided, then tf.raw_ops.TensorListReserve fails the CHECK_EQ in CheckIsAlignedAndSingleElement.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.raw_ops.TensorListReserve(element_shape=(1,1), num_elements=tf.constant([1,1], dtype=tf.int32), element_dtype=tf.int8)

Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [b5f6fbfba76576202b72119897561e3bd4f179c7](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/b5f6fbfba76576202b72119897561e3bd4f179c7).
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.
