SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-hjmq-236j-8m87)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415812

Description

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

 - In TensorFlow Lite before versions 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, models using segment sum can trigger a denial of
 service by causing an out of memory allocation in the implementation of segment sum. Since code uses the
 last element of the tensor holding them to determine the dimensionality of output tensor, attackers can
 use a very large value to trigger a large allocation. The issue is patched in commit
 204945b19e44b57906c9344c0d00120eeeae178a and is released in TensorFlow versions 2.2.1, or 2.3.1. A
 potential workaround would be to add a custom `Verifier` to limit the maximum value in the segment ids
 tensor. This only handles the case when the segment ids are stored statically in the model, but a similar
 validation could be done if the segment ids are generated at runtime, between inference steps. However, if
 the segment ids are generated as outputs of a tensor during inference steps, then there are no possible
 workaround and users are advised to upgrade to patched code. (CVE-2020-15213)
