SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-27j5-4p9v-pp67)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408767

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 providing a
 negative element to `num_elements` list argument of `tf.raw_ops.TensorListReserve` causes the runtime to
 abort the process due to reallocating a `std::vector` to have a negative number of elements. The [implemen
 tation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/8d72537c6abf5a44103b57b9c2e22c14f5f49698/tensorflow/
 core/kernels/list_kernels.cc#L312) calls `std::vector.resize()` with the new size controlled by input
 given by the user, without checking that this input is valid. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit
 8a6e874437670045e6c7dc6154c7412b4a2135e2. 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-2021-37644)
