SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-9c8h-vvrj-w2p8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413199

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. In affected versions if the
 arguments to `tf.raw_ops.RaggedGather` don't determine a valid ragged tensor code can trigger a read from
 outside of bounds of heap allocated buffers. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow
 /blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/ragged_gather_op.cc#L70) directly
 reads the first dimension of a tensor shape before checking that said tensor has rank of at least 1 (i.e.,
 it is not a scalar). Furthermore, the implementation does not check that the list given by
 `params_nested_splits` is not an empty list of tensors. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit
 a2b743f6017d7b97af1fe49087ae15f0ac634373. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.6.0. We will also
 cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, TensorFlow 2.4.3, and TensorFlow 2.3.4, as these are also
 affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-37641)
