SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-xw93-v57j-fcgh)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420710

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. An attacker can cause a denial of
 service via a FPE runtime error in `tf.raw_ops.SparseMatMul`. The division by 0 occurs deep in Eigen code
 because the `b` tensor is empty. 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-2021-29557)
