SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-79fv-9865-4qcv)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411962

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 implementation of
 `tf.raw_ops.MaxPoolGrad` is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. The implementation(https://github.com/te
 nsorflow/tensorflow/blob/ab1e644b48c82cb71493f4362b4dd38f4577a1cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/maxpooling_op.cc
 #L194-L203) fails to validate that indices used to access elements of input/output arrays are valid.
 Whereas accesses to `input_backprop_flat` are guarded by `FastBoundsCheck`, the indexing in
 `out_backprop_flat` can result in OOB access. 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-2021-29579)
