SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-x7rp-74x2-mjf3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420366

Description

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

- In Tensorflow before version 2.3.1, the `RaggedCountSparseOutput` implementation does not validate that
the input arguments form a valid ragged tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the values in
the `splits` tensor generate a valid partitioning of the `values` tensor. Thus, the code sets up
conditions to cause a heap buffer overflow. A `BatchedMap` is equivalent to a vector where each element is
a hashmap. However, if the first element of `splits_values` is not 0, `batch_idx` will never be 1, hence
there will be no hashmap at index 0 in `per_batch_counts`. Trying to access that in the user code results
in a segmentation fault. The issue is patched in commit 3cbb917b4714766030b28eba9fb41bb97ce9ee02 and is
released in TensorFlow version 2.3.1. (CVE-2020-15200)
