## Overview

### Impact
A malicious user can cause a denial of service by altering a `SavedModel` such that [assertions in `function.cc`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/a1320ec1eac186da1d03f033109191f715b2b130/tensorflow/core/framework/function.cc) would be falsified and crash the Python interpreter.
### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commits [dcc21c7bc972b10b6fb95c2fb0f4ab5a59680ec2](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/dcc21c7bc972b10b6fb95c2fb0f4ab5a59680ec2) and [3d89911481ba6ebe8c88c1c0b595412121e6c645](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/3d89911481ba6ebe8c88c1c0b595412121e6c645).
  
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
