CVE-2021-29555: 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 denial of service via a FPE runtime error in `tf.raw_ops.FusedBatchNorm`. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/828f346274841fa7505f7020e88ca36c22e557ab/tensorflow/core/kernels/fused_batch_norm_op.cc#L295-L297) performs a division based on the last dimension of the `x` tensor. Since this is controlled by the user, an attacker can trigger a denial of service. 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)
