SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-rgvq-pcvf-hx75)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418735

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. Due to lack of validation in
 `tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToTensor`, an attacker can exploit an undefined behavior if input arguments are
 empty. The implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/656e7673b14acd7835dc778867f84916c6
 d1cac2/tensorflow/core/kernels/ragged_tensor_to_tensor_op.cc#L356-L360) only checks that one of the
 tensors is not empty, but does not check for the other ones. There are multiple `DCHECK` validations to
 prevent heap OOB, but these are no-op in release builds, hence they don't prevent anything. The fix will
 be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick these commits on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow
 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.
 (CVE-2021-29608)
