Read and Write outside of bounds in TensorFlow

Impact

An attacker can craft a TFLite model that would allow limited reads and writes outside of arrays in TFLite. This exploits missing validation in the conversion from sparse tensors to dense tensors.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 6364463d6f5b6254cac3d6aedf999b6a96225038. 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.
