SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-772j-h9xw-ffp5)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411881

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. The API of `tf.raw_ops.SparseCross`
 allows combinations which would result in a `CHECK`-failure and denial of service. This is because the imp
 lementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/3d782b7d47b1bf2ed32bd4a246d6d6cadc4c903d/tensorf
 low/core/kernels/sparse_cross_op.cc#L114-L116) is tricked to consider a tensor of type `tstring` which in
 fact contains integral elements. Fixing the type confusion by preventing mixing `DT_STRING` and `DT_INT64`
 types solves this issue. 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-2021-29519)
