### Impact
The implementation of `tf.raw_ops.ReverseSequence` allows for stack overflow and/or `CHECK`-fail based denial of service.
```python
import tensorflow as tf
input = tf.zeros([1, 1, 1], dtype=tf.int32)
seq_lengths = tf.constant([0], shape=[1], dtype=tf.int32)
tf.raw_ops.ReverseSequence(
input=input, seq_lengths=seq_lengths, seq_dim=-2, batch_dim=0)
```
The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/5b3b071975e01f0d250c928b2a8f901cd53b90a7/tensorflow/core/kernels/reverse_sequence_op.cc#L114-L118) fails to validate that `seq_dim` and `batch_dim` arguments are valid.
Negative values for `seq_dim` can result in stack overflow or `CHECK`-failure, depending on the version of Eigen code used to implement the operation. Similar behavior can be exhibited by invalid values of `batch_dim`.
### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [ecf768cbe50cedc0a45ce1ee223146a3d3d26d23](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/ecf768cbe50cedc0a45ce1ee223146a3d3d26d23).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
