### Impact
All TFLite operations that use quantization can be made to use unitialized values. [For example](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a83278fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/lite/kernels/depthwise_conv.cc#L198-L200):
```cc
const auto* affine_quantization =
reinterpret_cast<TfLiteAffineQuantization*>(
filter->quantization.params);
```
The issue stems from the fact that `quantization.params` is only valid if `quantization.type` is different that `kTfLiteNoQuantization`. However, these checks are missing in large parts of the code.
### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commits [537bc7c723439b9194a358f64d871dd326c18887](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/537bc7c723439b9194a358f64d871dd326c18887),
[4a91f2069f7145aab6ba2d8cfe41be8a110c18a5](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/4a91f2069f7145aab6ba2d8cfe41be8a110c18a5) and [8933b8a21280696ab119b63263babdb54c298538](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/8933b8a21280696ab119b63263babdb54c298538).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
