SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-7pxj-m4jf-r6h2)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412186

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. In affected versions an attacker can trigger
undefined behavior, integer overflows, segfaults and `CHECK`-fail crashes if they can change saved
checkpoints from outside of TensorFlow. This is because the checkpoints loading infrastructure is missing
validation for invalid file formats. The fixes will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also
cherrypick these commits on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also
affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-41203)
