SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-2r8p-fg3c-wcj4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409066

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 trigger a crash via a `CHECK`-fail in debug builds of TensorFlow using `tf.raw_ops.ResourceGather` or
 a read from outside the bounds of heap allocated data in the same API in a release build. The [implementat
 ion](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f24faa153ad31a4b51578f8181d3aaab77a1ddeb/tensorflow/cor
 e/kernels/resource_variable_ops.cc#L660-L668) does not check that the `batch_dims` value that the user
 supplies is less than the rank of the input tensor. Since the implementation uses several for loops over
 the dimensions of `tensor`, this results in reading data from outside the bounds of heap allocated buffer
 backing the tensor. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit bc9c546ce7015c57c2f15c168b3d9201de679a1d.
 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-2021-37654)
