TensorFlow vulnerable to null-dereference in mlir::tfg::GraphDefImporter::ConvertNodeDef
When [mlir::tfg::GraphDefImporter::ConvertNodeDef](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/ir/importexport/graphdef_import.cc) tries to convert NodeDefs without an op name, it crashes.
```cpp
Status GraphDefImporter::ConvertNodeDef(OpBuilder &builder, ConversionState &s,
const NodeDef &node) {
VLOG(4) << "Importing: " << node.name();
OperationState state(ConvertLocation(node), absl::StrCat("tfg.", node.op()));
// The GraphImporter does light shape inference, but here we will defer all of
// that to the shape inference pass.
const OpDef *op_def;
const OpRegistrationData *op_reg_data = nullptr;
if ((op_reg_data = registry_.LookUp(node.op()))) {
op_def = &op_reg_data->op_def;
} else {
auto it = function_op_defs_.find(node.op());
if (it == function_op_defs_.end())
return InvalidArgument("Unable to find OpDef for ", node.op());
op_def = it->second;
}
```
node.op().empty() cannot be empty.
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [a0f0b9a21c9270930457095092f558fbad4c03e5](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/a0f0b9a21c9270930457095092f558fbad4c03e5).
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.
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.
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.
