## Overview

### Impact
If [`BCast::ToShape`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/util/bcast.h) is given input larger than an `int32`, it will crash, despite being supposed to handle up to an `int64`. An example can be seen in [`tf.experimental.numpy.outer`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/util/bcast.h) by passing in large input to the input `b`.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
value = tf.constant(shape=[2, 1024, 1024, 1024], value=False)
tf.experimental.numpy.outer(a=6,b=value)
```

### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [8310bf8dd188ff780e7fc53245058215a05bdbe5](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/8310bf8dd188ff780e7fc53245058215a05bdbe5).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.11. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.10.1, 2.9.3, and TensorFlow 2.8.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
