SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-9px9-73fg-3fqp)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413408

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Tensorflow is an Open Source Machine Learning Framework. Under certain scenarios, Grappler component of
TensorFlow can trigger a null pointer dereference. There are 2 places where this can occur, for the same
malicious alteration of a `SavedModel` file (fixing the first one would trigger the same dereference in
the second place). First, during constant folding, the `GraphDef` might not have the required nodes for
the binary operation. If a node is missing, the correposning `mul_*child` would be null, and the
dereference in the subsequent line would be incorrect. We have a similar issue during
`IsIdentityConsumingSwitch`. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.8.0. We will also cherrypick this
commit on TensorFlow 2.7.1, TensorFlow 2.6.3, and TensorFlow 2.5.3, as these are also affected and still
in supported range. (CVE-2022-23589)
