SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-4hrh-9vmp-2jgg)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410226

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 by passing crafted inputs to `tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams`. This is because the implementation(https:
 //github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/1cdd4da14282210cc759e468d9781741ac7d01bf/tensorflow/core/kernels/s
 tring_ngrams_op.cc#L171-L185) fails to consider corner cases where input would be split in such a way that
 the generated tokens should only contain padding elements. If input is such that `num_tokens` is 0, then,
 for `data_start_index=0` (when left padding is present), the marked line would result in reading
 `data[-1]`. 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-2021-29542)
