SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-wf5p-c75w-w3wh)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419884

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 craft a TFLite model that would trigger a null pointer dereference, which would result in a crash and
 denial of service. This is caused by the MLIR optimization of `L2NormalizeReduceAxis` operator. The [imple
 mentation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80df1d99fc41d005b81082a/tensorfl
 ow/compiler/mlir/lite/transforms/optimize.cc#L67-L70) unconditionally dereferences a pointer to an
 iterator to a vector without checking that the vector has elements. We have patched the issue in GitHub
 commit d6b57f461b39fd1aa8c1b870f1b974aac3554955. 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-2021-37689)
