SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-2gfx-95x2-5v3x)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408908

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 cause a heap buffer
 overflow in `QuantizedReshape` by passing in invalid thresholds for the quantization. This is because the
 implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/a324ac84e573fba362a5e53d4e74d5de6729933e/tens
 orflow/core/kernels/quantized_reshape_op.cc#L38-L55) assumes that the 2 arguments are always valid scalars
 and tries to access the numeric value directly. However, if any of these tensors is empty, then
 `.flat<T>()` is an empty buffer and accessing the element at position 0 results in overflow. 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-2021-29536)
