SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-c545-c4f9-rf6v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413659

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 TFLite's [`exp
 and_dims.cc`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d005b81082a/tenso
 rflow/lite/kernels/expand_dims.cc#L36-L50) contains a vulnerability which allows reading one element
 outside of bounds of heap allocated data. If `axis` is a large negative value (e.g., `-100000`), then
 after the first `if` it would still be negative. The check following the `if` statement will pass and the
 `for` loop would read one element before the start of `input_dims.data` (when `i = 0`). We have patched
 the issue in GitHub commit d94ffe08a65400f898241c0374e9edc6fa8ed257. 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-2021-37685)
