CVE-2021-29548: Google Tensorflow

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can cause a runtime division by zero error and denial of service in `tf.raw_ops.QuantizedBatchNormWithGlobalNormalization`. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/55a97caa9e99c7f37a0bbbeb414dc55553d3ae7f/tensorflow/core/kernels/quantized_batch_norm_op.cc) does not validate all constraints specified in the op's contract(https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/raw_ops/QuantizedBatchNormWithGlobalNormalization). 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.

Affected products

• Google Tensorflow: before 2.1.4 (fixed in 2.1.4); from 2.2.0, before 2.2.3 (fixed in 2.2.3); from 2.3.0, before 2.3.3 (fixed in 2.3.3); from 2.4.0, before 2.4.2 (fixed in 2.4.2)
