SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-98j8-c9q4-r38g)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413144

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. The implementation of `StringNGrams` can be used
 to trigger a denial of service attack by causing an out of memory condition after an integer overflow. We
 are missing a validation on `pad_witdh` and that result in computing a negative value for `ngram_width`
 which is later used to allocate parts of the output. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will
 also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also
 affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2022-21733)
