SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-62gx-355r-9fhg)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411118

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 eager mode (default in TF 2.0
 and later), session operations are invalid. However, users could still call the raw ops associated with
 them and trigger a null pointer dereference. The implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/b
 lob/eebb96c2830d48597d055d247c0e9aebaea94cd5/tensorflow/core/kernels/session_ops.cc#L104) dereferences the
 session state pointer without checking if it is valid. Thus, in eager mode, `ctx->session_state()` is
 nullptr and the call of the member function is undefined behavior. 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-2021-29518)
