SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-hwr7-8gxx-fj5p)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415998

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. Sending invalid argument for
 `row_partition_types` of `tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToTensor` API results in a null pointer dereference and
 undefined behavior. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/47a06f40411a69c99f3
 81495f490536972152ac0/tensorflow/core/kernels/ragged_tensor_to_tensor_op.cc#L328) accesses the first
 element of a user supplied list of values without validating that the provided list is not empty. We have
 patched the issue in GitHub commit 301ae88b331d37a2a16159b65b255f4f9eb39314. 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-2021-37638)
