SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-wc4g-r73w-x8mm)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419857
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. In multiple places, TensorFlow uses
`tempfile.mktemp` to create temporary files. While this is acceptable in testing, in utilities and
libraries it is dangerous as a different process can create the file between the check for the filename in
`mktemp` and the actual creation of the file by a subsequent operation (a TOC/TOU type of weakness). In
several instances, TensorFlow was supposed to actually create a temporary directory instead of a file.
This logic bug is hidden away by the `mktemp` function usage. We have patched the issue in several
commits, replacing `mktemp` with the safer `mkstemp`/`mkdtemp` functions, according to the usage pattern.
Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. (CVE-2022-23563)
