SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-x8h6-xgqx-jqgp)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420384

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. The implementation of
 `tf.raw_ops.FractionalMaxPoolGrad` triggers an undefined behavior if one of the input tensors is empty.
 The code is also vulnerable to a denial of service attack as a `CHECK` condition becomes false and aborts
 the process. The implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/169054888d50ce488dfde9ca55d9
 1d6325efbd5b/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_max_pool_op.cc#L215) fails to validate that input and
 output tensors are not empty and are of the same rank. Each of these unchecked assumptions is responsible
 for the above issues. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit 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-2021-29580)
