SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-hx2x-85gr-wrpq)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416007

Description

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

 - In TensorFlow Lite before versions 2.2.1 and 2.3.1, models using segment sum can trigger writes outside of
 bounds of heap allocated buffers by inserting negative elements in the segment ids tensor. Users having
 access to `segment_ids_data` can alter `output_index` and then write to outside of `output_data` buffer.
 This might result in a segmentation fault but it can also be used to further corrupt the memory and can be
 chained with other vulnerabilities to create more advanced exploits. The issue is patched in commit
 204945b19e44b57906c9344c0d00120eeeae178a and is released in TensorFlow versions 2.2.1, or 2.3.1. A
 potential workaround would be to add a custom `Verifier` to the model loading code to ensure that the
 segment ids are all positive, although this only handles the case when the segment ids are stored
 statically in the model. A similar validation could be done if the segment ids are generated at runtime
 between inference steps. If the segment ids are generated as outputs of a tensor during inference steps,
 then there are no possible workaround and users are advised to upgrade to patched code. (CVE-2020-15212)
