SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-6j9c-grc6-5m6g)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411489

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.SparseConcat`. This is because the implementation(https://github
 .com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/b432a38fe0e1b4b904a6c222cbce794c39703e87/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_co
 ncat_op.cc#L76) takes the values specified in `shapes[0]` as dimensions for the output shape. The
 `TensorShape` constructor(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/6f9896890c4c703ae0a0845394086e2e1e
 523299/tensorflow/core/framework/tensor_shape.cc#L183-L188) uses a `CHECK` operation which triggers when `
 InitDims`(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/6f9896890c4c703ae0a0845394086e2e1e523299/tensorflo
 w/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-2021-29534)
