Affected: tensorflow

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. The `simplifyBroadcast` function in the MLIR-TFRT infrastructure in TensorFlow is vulnerable to a segfault (hence, denial of service), if called with scalar shapes. If all shapes are scalar, then `maxRank` is 0, so we build an empty `SmallVector`. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. This is the only affected version.

Affected: PyPI: tensorflow, PyPI: tensorflow-cpu, PyPI: tensorflow-gpu

### Impact The [`simplifyBroadcast` function in the MLIR-TFRT infrastructure in TensorFlow](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/274df9b02330b790aa8de1cee164b70f72b9b244/tensorflow/compiler/mlir/tfrt/jit/transforms/tf_cpurt_symbolic_shape_optimization.cc#L149-L205) is vulnerable to a segfault (hence, denial of service), if called with scalar shapes.

```cc size_t maxRank = 0; for (auto shape : llvm::enumerate(shapes)) { auto found_shape = analysis.dimensionsForShapeTensor(shape.value()); if (!found_shape) return {}; shapes_found.push_back(*found_shape); maxRank = std::max(maxRank, found_shape->size()); }

SmallVector<const ShapeComponentAnalysis::SymbolicDimension*> joined_dimensions(maxRank); ```

If all shapes are scalar, then `maxRank` is 0, so we build an empty `SmallVector`.

### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [35f0fabb4c178253a964d7aabdbb15c6a398b69a](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/35f0fabb4c178253a964d7aabdbb15c6a398b69a).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. This is the only affected version.
