Impact

The [implementation of StringNGrams](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/5100e359aef5c8021f2e71c7b986420b85ce7b3d/tensorflow/core/kernels/string ngrams op.cc#L29-L161) can be used to trigger a denial of service attack by causing an OOM condition after an integer overflow:
python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw ops.StringNGrams(
 data=['123456'],
 data splits=[0,1],
 separator='a'*15,
 ngram widths=[],
 left pad='',
 right pad='',
 pad width=-5, 
 preserve short sequences=True)
We are missing a validation on pad witdh and that result in computing a negative value for ngram width which is later used to allocate parts of the output.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit f68fdab93fb7f4ddb4eb438c8fe052753c9413e8.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
