SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-2xgj-xhgf-ggjv)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409170

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 trigger a heap
 buffer overflow in Eigen implementation of `tf.raw_ops.BandedTriangularSolve`. The implementation(https://
 github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/eccb7ec454e6617738554a255d77f08e60ee0808/tensorflow/core/kernels/lin
 alg/banded_triangular_solve_op.cc#L269-L278) calls `ValidateInputTensors` for input validation but fails
 to validate that the two tensors are not empty. Furthermore, since `OP_REQUIRES` macro only stops
 execution of current function after setting `ctx->status()` to a non-OK value, callers of helper functions
 that use `OP_REQUIRES` must check value of `ctx->status()` before continuing. This doesn't happen in this
 op's implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/eccb7ec454e6617738554a255d77f08e60ee0808
 /tensorflow/core/kernels/linalg/banded_triangular_solve_op.cc#L219), hence the validation that is present
 is also not effective. 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-2021-29612)
