SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-qh32-6jjc-qprm)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418133

Description

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

- In tensorflow-lite before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, a crafted TFLite model can force
a node to have as input a tensor backed by a `nullptr` buffer. This can be achieved by changing a buffer
index in the flatbuffer serialization to convert a read-only tensor to a read-write one. The runtime
assumes that these buffers are written to before a possible read, hence they are initialized with
`nullptr`. However, by changing the buffer index for a tensor and implicitly converting that tensor to be
a read-write one, as there is nothing in the model that writes to it, we get a null pointer dereference.
The issue is patched in commit 0b5662bc, and is released in TensorFlow versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2,
2.2.1, or 2.3.1. (CVE-2020-15209)
