SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-2cpx-427x-q2c6)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408866

Description

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

 - TensorFlow is an end-to-end open source platform for machine learning. An attacker can trigger a denial of
 service via a `CHECK`-fail in `tf.raw_ops.AddManySparseToTensorsMap`. This is because the implementation(h
 ttps://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/6f9896890c4c703ae0a0845394086e2e1e523299/tensorflow/core/kern
 els/sparse_tensors_map_ops.cc#L257) takes the values specified in `sparse_shape` as dimensions for the
 output shape. The `TensorShape` constructor(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/6f9896890c4c703a
 e0a0845394086e2e1e523299/tensorflow/core/framework/tensor_shape.cc#L183-L188) uses a `CHECK` operation
 which triggers when `InitDims`(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/6f9896890c4c703ae0a0845394086
 e2e1e523299/tensorflow/core/framework/tensor_shape.cc#L212-L296) returns a non-OK status. This is a legacy
 implementation of the constructor and operations should use `BuildTensorShapeBase` or `AddDimWithStatus`
 to prevent `CHECK`-failures in the presence of overflows. 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. (CVE-2021-29523)
