{"id":"GHSA-m342-ff57-4jcc","summary":"Heap OOB read in `tf.raw_ops.SparseCountSparseOutput`","details":"### Impact\nThe [shape inference functions for `SparseCountSparseOutput`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/e0b6e58c328059829c3eb968136f17aa72b6c876/tensorflow/core/ops/count_ops.cc#L43-L50) can trigger a read outside of bounds of heap allocated array:\n\n```python\nimport tensorflow as tf\n\n@tf.function\ndef func():\n  return tf.raw_ops.SparseCountSparseOutput(\n    indices=[1],\n    values=[[1]],\n    dense_shape=[10],\n    weights=[],\n    binary_output= True)\n\nfunc()\n```\n\nThe function fails to check that the first input (i.e., `indices`) has rank 2:\n\n```cc\n  auto rank = c-\u003eDim(c-\u003einput(0), 1);\n```\n\n### Patches\nWe have patched the issue in GitHub commit [701cfaca222a82afbeeb17496bd718baa65a67d2](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/701cfaca222a82afbeeb17496bd718baa65a67d2).\n\nThe fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.\n\n### For more information\nPlease consult
