SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-9697-98pf-4rw7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413075

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 read from outside of bounds of heap allocated data by sending specially crafted illegal arguments to
`tf.raw_ops.UpperBound`. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a832
78fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/core/kernels/searchsorted_op.cc#L85-L104) does not validate the rank
of `sorted_input` argument. A similar issue occurs in `tf.raw_ops.LowerBound`. We have patched the issue
in GitHub commit 42459e4273c2e47a3232cc16c4f4fff3b3a35c38. 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-2021-37670)
