SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-7cqx-92hp-x6wh)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412003

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.MaxPool3DGradGrad` is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. The implementation(https://github.
 com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/596c05a159b6fbb9e39ca10b3f7753b7244fa1e9/tensorflow/core/kernels/pooling_op
 s_3d.cc#L694-L696) does not check that the initialization of `Pool3dParameters` completes successfully.
 Since the constructor(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/596c05a159b6fbb9e39ca10b3f7753b7244fa1
 e9/tensorflow/core/kernels/pooling_ops_3d.cc#L48-L88) uses `OP_REQUIRES` to validate conditions, the first
 assertion that fails interrupts the initialization of `params`, making it contain invalid data. In turn,
 this might cause a heap buffer overflow, depending on default initialized values. 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-2021-29576)
