Summary

TensorFlow's `SetSize` function fails a `CHECK` when its input `set_shape` is not a 1D tensor, which can be triggered to cause a denial of service. The issue is patched in GitHub commit cf70b79d2662c0d3c6af74583641e345fc939467 and will ship in TensorFlow 2.10.0. The fix will also be cherry-picked to TensorFlow 2.9.1, 2.8.1 and 2.7.2, which are affected and still in supported range.

Mitigation

Fixed in TensorFlow 2.10.0 via GitHub commit cf70b79d2662c0d3c6af74583641e345fc939467, which will also be cherry-picked to TensorFlow 2.9.1, 2.8.1 and 2.7.2. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
