SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-cm5x-837x-jf3c)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413962

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 an attacker
can cause a floating point exception by calling inplace operations with crafted arguments that would
result in a division by 0. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187cb8
0d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/inplace_ops.cc#L283) has a logic error: it should
skip processing if `x` and `v` are empty but the code uses `||` instead of `&&`. We have patched the issue
in GitHub commit e86605c0a336c088b638da02135ea6f9f6753618. 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-2021-37660)
