    Summary: Undefined behavior in `MaxPool3DGradGrad`

    Details: ### Impact The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.MaxPool3DGradGrad` exhibits undefined behavior by dereferencing null pointers backing attacker-supplied empty tensors: ```python import tensorflow as tf orig_input = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32) orig_output = tf.constant([0.0], shape=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.float32) grad = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], dtype=tf.float32) ksize = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1] strides = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1] padding = "SAME" tf.raw_ops.MaxPool3DGradGrad( orig_input=orig_input, orig_output=orig_output, grad=grad, ksize=ksize, strides=strides, padding=padding) ``` The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/72fe792967e7fd25234342068806707bbc116618/tensorflow/core/kernels/pooling_ops_3d.cc#L679-L703) fails to validate that the 3 tensor inputs are not empty. If any of them is empty, then accessing the elements in the tensor results in dereferencing a null pointer. ### Patches We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [a3d9f9be9ac2296615644061b40cefcee341dcc4](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/a3d9f9be9ac2296615644061b40cefcee341dcc4). 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. ### For more information Please consult [our security guide](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md) for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions. ### Attribution This vulnerability has been reported by Ying Wang and Yakun Zhang of Baidu X-Team.
