SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-hc2f-7r5r-r2hg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415629

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 version 2.8.0, the `TensorKey` hash
 function used total estimated `AllocatedBytes()`, which (a) is an estimate per tensor, and (b) is a very
 poor hash function for constants (e.g. `int32_t`). It also tried to access individual tensor bytes through
 `tensor.data()` of size `AllocatedBytes()`. This led to ASAN failures because the `AllocatedBytes()` is an
 estimate of total bytes allocated by a tensor, including any pointed-to constructs (e.g. strings), and
 does not refer to contiguous bytes in the `.data()` buffer. The discoverers could not use this byte vector
 anyway because types such as `tstring` include pointers, whereas they needed to hash the string values
 themselves. This issue is patched in Tensorflow versions 2.9.0 and 2.8.1. (CVE-2022-29210)
