SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-3hxh-8cp2-g4hg)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409560

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 when running
 shape functions, some functions (such as `MutableHashTableShape`) produce extra output information in the
 form of a `ShapeAndType` struct. The shapes embedded in this struct are owned by an inference context that
 is cleaned up almost immediately; if the upstream code attempts to access this shape information, it can
 trigger a segfault. `ShapeRefiner` is mitigating this for normal output shapes by cloning them (and thus
 putting the newly created shape under ownership of an inference context that will not die), but we were
 not doing the same for shapes and types. This commit fixes that by doing similar logic on output shapes
 and types. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit ee119d4a498979525046fba1c3dd3f13a039fbb1. 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-2021-37690)
