SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-9mqp-7v2h-2382)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413373

Description

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

- In Tensorflow before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, the `SparseFillEmptyRowsGrad`
implementation has incomplete validation of the shapes of its arguments. Although `reverse_index_map_t`
and `grad_values_t` are accessed in a similar pattern, only `reverse_index_map_t` is validated to be of
proper shape. Hence, malicious users can pass a bad `grad_values_t` to trigger an assertion failure in
`vec`, causing denial of service in serving installations. The issue is patched in commit
390611e0d45c5793c7066110af37c8514e6a6c54, and is released in TensorFlow versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2,
2.2.1, or 2.3.1." (CVE-2020-15194)
