CVE-2022-41890

`CHECK` fail in `BCast` overflow in Tensorflow

4.8 MediumFix available

TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. If BCast::ToShape is given input larger than an int32, it will crash, despite being supposed to handle up to an int64. An example can be seen in tf.experimental.numpy.outer by passing in large input to the input b. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 8310bf8dd188ff780e7fc53245058215a05bdbe5. 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.
