Out of bounds read in Tensorflow

CVE-2022-21726

Summary

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. The implementation of Dequantize does not fully validate the value of axis and can result in heap OOB accesses. The axis argument can be -1 (the default value for the optional argument) or any other positive value at most the number of dimensions of the input. Unfortunately, the upper bound is not checked and this results in reading past the end of the array containing the dimensions of the input tensor. 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.
