The implementation of Range suffers from integer overflows. These can trigger undefined behavior or, in some scenarios, extremely large allocations.

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit f0147751fd5d2ff23251149ebad9af9f03010732 (merging #51733).

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.
