SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-cqv6-3phm-hcwx)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414044

Description

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

 - TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions the shape inference code
 for the `Cudnn*` operations in TensorFlow can be tricked into accessing invalid memory, via a heap buffer
 overflow. This occurs because the ranks of the `input`, `input_h` and `input_c` parameters are not
 validated, but code assumes they have certain values. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We
 will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are
 also affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-41221)
