SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-cwv3-863g-39vx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414150

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. TFlite graphs must not have loops
 between nodes. However, this condition was not checked and an attacker could craft models that would
 result in infinite loop during evaluation. In certain cases, the infinite loop would be replaced by stack
 overflow due to too many recursive calls. For example, the `While` implementation(https://github.com/tenso
 rflow/tensorflow/blob/106d8f4fb89335a2c52d7c895b7a7485465ca8d9/tensorflow/lite/kernels/while.cc) could be
 tricked into a scneario where both the body and the loop subgraphs are the same. Evaluating one of the
 subgraphs means calling the `Eval` function for the other and this quickly exhaust all stack space. 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. Please consult our security guide(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/SECURITY.md)
 for more information regarding the security model and how to contact us with issues and questions.
 (CVE-2021-29591)
