Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The [macros that TensorFlow uses for writing assertions (e.g., `CHECK_LT`, `CHECK_GT`, etc.)](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f3b9bf4c3c0597563b289c0512e98d4ce81f886e/tensorflow/core/platform/default/logging.h) have an incorrect logic when comparing `size_t` and `int` values. Due to type conversion rules, several of the macros would trigger incorrectly.
### Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [b917181c29b50cb83399ba41f4d938dc369109a1](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/b917181c29b50cb83399ba41f4d938dc369109a1) (merging GitHub PR [#55730](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/pull/55730)).
The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.9.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.8.1, TensorFlow 2.7.2, and TensorFlow 2.6.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
