SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-84mw-34w6-2q43)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412425

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. Calling
`tf.raw_ops.RaggedTensorToVariant` with arguments specifying an invalid ragged tensor results in a null
pointer dereference. The implementation of `RaggedTensorToVariant` operations(https://github.com/tensorflo
w/tensorflow/blob/904b3926ed1c6c70380d5313d282d248a776baa1/tensorflow/core/kernels/ragged_tensor_to_varian
t_op.cc#L39-L40) does not validate that the ragged tensor argument is non-empty. Since `batched_ragged`
contains no elements, `batched_ragged.splits` is a null vector, thus `batched_ragged.splits(0)` will
result in dereferencing `nullptr`. 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-2021-29516)
