CHECK-failure in `UnsortedSegmentJoin`
Description
TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can cause a denial of service by controlling the values of num_segments tensor argument for UnsortedSegmentJoin. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/a2a607db15c7cd01d754d37e5448d72a13491bdb/tensorflow/core/kernels/unsorted_segment_join_op.cc#L92-L93) assumes that the num_segments tensor is a valid scalar. Since the tensor is empty the CHECK involved in .scalar()() that checks that the number of elements is exactly 1 will be invalidated and this would result in process termination. 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.
