## TFSA-2020-022: Crash due to invalid shape of `grad_values` in SparseFillEmptyRowsGrad

### CVE Number
CVE-2020-15194

### Impact
The `SparseFillEmptyRowsGrad` implementation has [incomplete validation of the
shapes of its
arguments](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_fill_empty_rows_op.cc#L235-L241):
```cc
    OP_REQUIRES(
        context, TensorShapeUtils::IsVector(reverse_index_map_t->shape()),
        errors::InvalidArgument("reverse_index_map must be a vector, saw: ",
                                reverse_index_map_t->shape().DebugString()));

    const auto reverse_index_map = reverse_index_map_t->vec<int64>();
    const auto grad_values = grad_values_t->vec<T>();
```

Although `reverse_index_map_t` and `grad_values_t` are accessed in a similar
pattern, only `reverse_index_map_t` is validated to be of proper shape. Hence,
malicious users can pass a bad `grad_values_t` to trigger an assertion failure
in `vec`, causing denial of service in serving installations.

### Vulnerable Versions
TensorFlow 1.15.0, 1.15.1, 1.15.2, 1.15.3, 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.1.0, 2.1.1,
