SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-9xh4-23q4-v6wr)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413559

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. The implementation of
 `tf.raw_ops.FusedBatchNorm` is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. If the tensors are empty, the same
 implementation can trigger undefined behavior by dereferencing null pointers. The implementation(https://g
 ithub.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/57d86e0db5d1365f19adcce848dfc1bf89fdd4c7/tensorflow/core/kernels/fuse
 d_batch_norm_op.cc) fails to validate that `scale`, `offset`, `mean` and `variance` (the last two only
 when required) all have the same number of elements as the number of channels of `x`. This results in heap
 out of bounds reads when the buffers backing these tensors are indexed past their boundary. If the tensors
 are empty, the validation mentioned in the above paragraph would also trigger and prevent the undefined
 behavior. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow
 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in
 supported range. (CVE-2021-29583)
