SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-hpv4-7p9c-mvfr)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415876

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 the
 implementation for `tf.raw_ops.FractionalAvgPoolGrad` can be tricked into accessing data outside of bounds
 of heap allocated buffers. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/f24faa153ad3
 1a4b51578f8181d3aaab77a1ddeb/tensorflow/core/kernels/fractional_avg_pool_op.cc#L205) does not validate
 that the input tensor is non-empty. Thus, code constructs an empty `EigenDoubleMatrixMap` and then
 accesses this buffer with indices that are outside of the empty area. We have patched the issue in GitHub
 commit 0f931751fb20f565c4e94aa6df58d54a003cdb30. 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-2021-37651)
