SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-59q2-x2qc-4c97)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410741

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 access data outside
 of bounds of heap allocated array in `tf.raw_ops.UnicodeEncode`. This is because the implementation(https:
 //github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/472c1f12ad9063405737679d4f6bd43094e1d36d/tensorflow/core/kernels/u
 nicode_ops.cc) assumes that the `input_value`/`input_splits` pair specify a valid sparse tensor. 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-2021-29559)
