CVE-2021-29559 — Heap OOB access in unicode ops

Affected: tensorflow

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can access data outside of bounds of heap allocated array in `tf.raw_ops.UnicodeEncode`. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/472c1f12ad9063405737679d4f6bd43094e1d36d/tensorflow/core/kernels/unicode_ops.cc) assumes that the `input_value`/`input_splits` pair specify a valid sparse tensor. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

GHSA-59q2-x2qc-4c97 — Heap OOB access in unicode ops

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

### Impact An attacker can access data outside of bounds of heap allocated array in `tf.raw_ops.UnicodeEncode`:

```python import tensorflow as tf

input_values = tf.constant([58], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int32) input_splits = tf.constant([[81, 101, 0]], shape=[3], dtype=tf.int32) output_encoding = "UTF-8"

tf.raw_ops.UnicodeEncode( input_values=input_values, input_splits=input_splits, output_encoding=output_encoding) ```

This is because the [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/472c1f12ad9063405737679d4f6bd43094e1d36d/tensorflow/core/kernels/unicode_ops.cc) assumes that the `input_value`/`input_splits` pair specify a valid sparse tensor.

### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [51300ba1cc2f487aefec6e6631fef03b0e08b298](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/51300ba1cc2f487aefec6e6631fef03b0e08b298).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
