SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-9w2p-5mgw-p94c)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413489

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 the
 implementation of `tf.raw_ops.QuantizeAndDequantizeV4Grad` is vulnerable to an integer overflow issue
 caused by converting a signed integer value to an unsigned one and then allocating memory based on this
 value. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14
 f5f49698/tensorflow/core/kernels/quantize_and_dequantize_op.cc#L126) uses the `axis` value as the size
 argument to `absl::InlinedVector` constructor. But, the constructor uses an unsigned type for the
 argument, so the implicit conversion transforms the negative value to a large integer. We have patched the
 issue in GitHub commit 96f364a1ca3009f98980021c4b32be5fdcca33a1. The fix will be included in TensorFlow
 2.6.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.5.1, and TensorFlow 2.4.3, as these are also
 affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-37645)
