SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-7ghq-fvr3-pj2x)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412057

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 denial of service via a segmentation fault in `tf.raw_ops.MaxPoolGrad` caused by missing
validation. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a83278fb00b61a16d
161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/core/kernels/maxpooling_op.cc) misses some validation for the `orig_input` and
`orig_output` tensors. The fixes for CVE-2021-29579 were incomplete. We have patched the issue in GitHub
commit 136b51f10903e044308cf77117c0ed9871350475. 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-2021-37674)
