SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-f5cx-5wr3-5qrc)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414291

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 generate undefined behavior via a reference binding to nullptr in
 `BoostedTreesCalculateBestGainsPerFeature` and similar attack can occur in
 `BoostedTreesCalculateBestFeatureSplitV2`. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/b
 lob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/boosted_trees/stats_ops.cc) does not
 validate the input values. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit
 9c87c32c710d0b5b53dc6fd3bfde4046e1f7a5ad and in commit 429f009d2b2c09028647dd4bb7b3f6f414bbaad7. 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-2021-37662)
