SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-6p5r-g9mq-ggh2)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411549

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. In affected versions an attacker
can cause undefined behavior via binding a reference to null pointer in all operations of type
`tf.raw_ops.MatrixSetDiagV*`. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187
cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/linalg/matrix_diag_op.cc) has incomplete
validation that the value of `k` is a valid tensor. We have check that this value is either a scalar or a
vector, but there is no check for the number of elements. If this is an empty tensor, then code that
accesses the first element of the tensor is wrong. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit
ff8894044dfae5568ecbf2ed514c1a37dc394f1b. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also
cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also
affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-37658)
