CVE-2022-23564: Tensorflow denial of service via crafted resource handle tensor

Summary

CVE-2022-23564 affects TensorFlow, an open source machine learning framework. When decoding a resource handle tensor from protobuf, a `CHECK` assertion can be invalidated by user controlled arguments, letting an attacker cause a denial of service in TensorFlow processes.

Mitigation

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. The commit will also be cherrypicked to TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3.
