SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-hr84-fqvp-48mm)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415913

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. Specifying a negative dense shape
 in `tf.raw_ops.SparseCountSparseOutput` results in a segmentation fault being thrown out from the standard
 library as `std::vector` invariants are broken. This is because the implementation(https://github.com/tens
 orflow/tensorflow/blob/8f7b60ee8c0206a2c99802e3a4d1bb55d2bc0624/tensorflow/core/kernels/count_ops.cc#L199-
 L213) assumes the first element of the dense shape is always positive and uses it to initialize a
 `BatchedMap<T>` (i.e., `std::vector<absl::flat_hash_map<int64,T>>`(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflo
 w/blob/8f7b60ee8c0206a2c99802e3a4d1bb55d2bc0624/tensorflow/core/kernels/count_ops.cc#L27)) data structure.
 If the `shape` tensor has more than one element, `num_batches` is the first value in `shape`. Ensuring
 that the `dense_shape` argument is a valid tensor shape (that is, all elements are non-negative) solves
 this issue. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on
 TensorFlow 2.4.2 and TensorFlow 2.3.3. (CVE-2021-29521)
