CVE-2022-23595: Tensorflow null pointer dereference in XLA compilation cache build

Summary

CVE-2022-23595 affects TensorFlow when an XLA compilation cache is built with default settings. In that default scenario, all devices are allowed, so `flr->config_proto` is `nullptr`, and TensorFlow triggers a null pointer dereference (CWE-476). The source states that the flaw affects TensorFlow 2.7.1, 2.6.3 and 2.5.3 as well as the version the fix ships in.

Mitigation

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