Description

Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. A `GraphDef` from a TensorFlow `SavedModel` can be maliciously altered to cause a TensorFlow process to crash due to encountering a `StatusOr` value that is an error and forcibly extracting the value from it. We have patched the issue in multiple GitHub commits and these will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0 and TensorFlow 2.7.1, as both are affected.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 2.7.1
Affected range stops below 2.7.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
v < 2.8.0
Affected range stops below 2.8.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
