SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-jc87-6vpp-7ff3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416289

Description

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

- In Tensorflow before version 2.3.1, the `SparseCountSparseOutput` implementation does not validate that
the input arguments form a valid sparse tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the `indices`
tensor has the same shape as the `values` one. The values in these tensors are always accessed in
parallel. Thus, a shape mismatch can result in accesses outside the bounds of heap allocated buffers. The
issue is patched in commit 3cbb917b4714766030b28eba9fb41bb97ce9ee02 and is released in TensorFlow version
2.3.1. (CVE-2020-15198)
