Summary

TensorFlow's `Unbatch` operation fails a `CHECK` when it receives a nonscalar input `id`, which can be triggered to cause a denial of service. The issue is patched in GitHub commit 4419d10d576adefa36b0e0a9425d2569f7c0189f, which will ship in TensorFlow 2.10.0 and is also being cherrypicked to TensorFlow 2.9.1, 2.8.1 and 2.7.2, which are in supported range.

Mitigation

Patched in GitHub commit 4419d10d576adefa36b0e0a9425d2569f7c0189f, included in TensorFlow 2.10.0; cherrypicked to TensorFlow 2.9.1, 2.8.1 and 2.7.2. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
