SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-q3g3-h9r4-prrc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417834

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. In affected versions an attacker
 can cause undefined behavior via binding a reference to null pointer in all binary cwise operations that
 don't require broadcasting (e.g., gradients of binary cwise operations). The [implementation](https://gith
 ub.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/cwise_o
 ps_common.h#L264) assumes that the two inputs have exactly the same number of elements but does not check
 that. Hence, when the eigen functor executes it triggers heap OOB reads and undefined behavior due to
 binding to nullptr. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 93f428fd1768df147171ed674fee1fc5ab8309ec.
 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-2021-37659)
