Summary
TensorFlow's `EmptyTensorList` triggers a `CHECK` failure when its input `element_shape` has more than one dimension. An attacker can use this to cause a denial of service.
Mitigation
Fixed in GitHub commit c8ba76d48567aed347508e0552a257641931024d, included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. The commit will also be cherrypicked to TensorFlow 2.9.1, 2.8.1 and 2.7.2. No known workarounds.
