SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-j8c8-67vp-6mx7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416240

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 affected versions the `ImmutableConst`
 operation in TensorFlow can be tricked into reading arbitrary memory contents. This is because the
 `tstring` TensorFlow string class has a special case for memory mapped strings but the operation itself
 does not offer any support for this datatype. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also
 cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also
 affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-41227)
