SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-75c9-jrh4-79mc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411835

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. Prior to versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and
2.6.4, TensorFlow's `saved_model_cli` tool is vulnerable to a code injection. This can be used to open a
reverse shell. This code path was maintained for compatibility reasons as the maintainers had several test
cases where numpy expressions were used as arguments. However, given that the tool is always run manually,
the impact of this is still not severe. The maintainers have now removed the `safe=False` argument, so all
parsing is done without calling `eval`. The patch is available in versions 2.9.0, 2.8.1, 2.7.2, and 2.6.4.
(CVE-2022-29216)
