SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-v82p-hv3v-p6qp)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419176

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 due to
 incomplete validation in MKL implementation of requantization, an attacker can trigger undefined behavior
 via binding a reference to a null pointer or can access data outside the bounds of heap allocated arrays.
 The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a83278fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f
 4/tensorflow/core/kernels/mkl/mkl_requantization_range_per_channel_op.cc) does not validate the dimensions
 of the `input` tensor. A similar issue occurs in `MklRequantizePerChannelOp`. The [implementation](https:/
 /github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a83278fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/core/kernels/mk
 l/mkl_requantize_per_channel_op.cc) does not perform full validation for all the input arguments. We have
 patched the issue in GitHub commit 9e62869465573cb2d9b5053f1fa02a81fce21d69 and in the Github commit
 203214568f5bc237603dbab6e1fd389f1572f5c9. 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-2021-37665)
