Description
Impact
The reference implementation of the GatherNd TFLite operator is vulnerable to a division by zero error:
ret.dims_to_count[i] = remain_flat_size / params_shape.Dims(i);
An attacker can craft a model such that params input would be an empty tensor. In turn, params_shape.Dims(.) would be zero, in at least one dimension.
Patches
We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 8e45822aa0b9f5df4b4c64f221e64dc930a70a9d.
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.

How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
