SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-fx5c-h9f6-rv7c)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414752

Description

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

- Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. A malicious user can cause a denial of service by
altering a `SavedModel` such that Grappler optimizer would attempt to build a tensor using a reference
`dtype`. This would result in a crash due to a `CHECK`-fail in the `Tensor` constructor as reference types
are not allowed. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on
TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still in
supported range. (CVE-2022-23588)
