SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-q8gv-q7wr-9jf8)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417997

Description

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

 - In eager mode, TensorFlow before versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.1 does not set the session
 state. Hence, calling `tf.raw_ops.GetSessionHandle` or `tf.raw_ops.GetSessionHandleV2` results in a null
 pointer dereference In linked snippet, in eager mode, `ctx->session_state()` returns `nullptr`. Since code
 immediately dereferences this, we get a segmentation fault. The issue is patched in commit
 9a133d73ae4b4664d22bd1aa6d654fec13c52ee1, and is released in TensorFlow versions 1.15.4, 2.0.3, 2.1.2,
 2.2.1, or 2.3.1. (CVE-2020-15204)
