SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-5crj-c72x-m7gq)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410772

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions the process of building
 the control flow graph for a TensorFlow model is vulnerable to a null pointer exception when nodes that
 should be paired are not. This occurs because the code assumes that the first node in the pairing (e.g.,
 an `Enter` node) always exists when encountering the second node (e.g., an `Exit` node). When this is not
 the case, `parent` is `nullptr` so dereferencing it causes a crash. The fix will be included in TensorFlow
 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as
 these are also affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-41217)
