SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-c9qf-r67m-p7cg)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413808

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. It is possible to trigger a null
 pointer dereference in TensorFlow by passing an invalid input to `tf.raw_ops.CompressElement`. The [implem
 entation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/47a06f40411a69c99f381495f490536972152ac0/tensorflo
 w/core/data/compression_utils.cc#L34) was accessing the size of a buffer obtained from the return of a
 separate function call before validating that said buffer is valid. We have patched the issue in GitHub
 commit 5dc7f6981fdaf74c8c5be41f393df705841fb7c5. 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-2021-37637)
