SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-prcg-wp5q-rv7p)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417684

Description

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

- TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions TensorFlow allows tensor
to have a large number of dimensions and each dimension can be as large as desired. However, the total
number of elements in a tensor must fit within an `int64_t`. If an overflow occurs,
`MultiplyWithoutOverflow` would return a negative result. In the majority of TensorFlow codebase this then
results in a `CHECK`-failure. Newer constructs exist which return a `Status` instead of crashing the
binary. This is similar to CVE-2021-29584. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also
cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also
affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-41197)
