Heap OOB access in `Dilation2DBackpropInput`
Description
TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can write outside the bounds of heap allocated arrays by passing invalid arguments to tf.raw_ops.Dilation2DBackpropInput. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/afd954e65f15aea4d438d0a219136fc4a63a573d/tensorflow/core/kernels/dilation_ops.cc#L321-L322) does not validate before writing to the output array. The values for h_out and w_out are guaranteed to be in range for out_backprop (as they are loop indices bounded by the size of the array). However, there are no similar guarantees relating h_in_max/w_in_max and in_backprop. 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.
