TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions the implementation of sparse reduction operations in TensorFlow can trigger accesses outside of bounds of heap allocated data. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/a1bc56203f21a5a4995311825ffaba7a670d7747/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_reduce_op.cc#L217-L228) fails to validate that each reduction group does not overflow and that each corresponding index does not point to outside the bounds of the input tensor. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 87158f43f05f2720a374f3e6d22a7aaa3a33f750. 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.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

    (CVE-2021-37635)

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:10014-1 advisory.

    Update to TF2 2.6.0 which fixes multiple CVEs (boo#1189423).

    - Introduction of bazel6.3 and basel-skylib1.0.3 as build       dependencies.
      The latter has been adapted to all a version in its package       name (if %set_ver_suffix is set to 1). This allows multiple       versions to exist for one product (not installed).
      NOTE: basel-skylib1.0.3 does not exist in oS:Factory:
      basel-skylib in oS:Factory - the base version - is 1.0.3.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
