SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-fphq-gw9m-ghrv)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414615

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. An attacker can trigger a denial of
 service via a `CHECK`-fail in `tf.raw_ops.CTCGreedyDecoder`. This is because the implementation(https://gi
 thub.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/1615440b17b364b875eb06f43d087381f1460a65/tensorflow/core/kernels/ctc_d
 ecoder_ops.cc#L37-L50) has a `CHECK_LT` inserted to validate some invariants. When this condition is
 false, the program aborts, instead of returning a valid error to the user. This abnormal termination can
 be weaponized in denial of service attacks. 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-2021-29543)
