SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-7fvx-3jfc-2cpc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412039

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 an attacker
 can trigger a read from outside of bounds of heap allocated data by sending invalid arguments to
 `tf.raw_ops.ResourceScatterUpdate`. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f24
 faa153ad31a4b51578f8181d3aaab77a1ddeb/tensorflow/core/kernels/resource_variable_ops.cc#L919-L923) has an
 incomplete validation of the relationship between the shapes of `indices` and `updates`: instead of
 checking that the shape of `indices` is a prefix of the shape of `updates` (so that broadcasting can
 happen), code only checks that the number of elements in these two tensors are in a divisibility
 relationship. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit 01cff3f986259d661103412a20745928c727326f. 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-2021-37655)
