SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-57wx-m983-2f88)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410670

Description

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

 - TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions the code for boosted
 trees in TensorFlow is still missing validation. As a result, attackers can trigger denial of service (via
 dereferencing `nullptr`s or via `CHECK`-failures) as well as abuse undefined behavior (binding references
 to `nullptr`s). An attacker can also read and write from heap buffers, depending on the API that gets used
 and the arguments that are passed to the call. Given that the boosted trees implementation in TensorFlow
 is unmaintained, it is recommend to no longer use these APIs. We will deprecate TensorFlow's boosted trees
 APIs in subsequent releases. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this
 commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still
 in supported range. (CVE-2021-41208)
