SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-r4c4-5fpq-56wg)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418477

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 an attacker
 can read from outside of bounds of heap allocated data by sending specially crafted illegal arguments to
 `BoostedTreesSparseCalculateBestFeatureSplit`. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorfl
 ow/blob/84d053187cb80d975ef2b9684d4b61981bca0c41/tensorflow/core/kernels/boosted_trees/stats_ops.cc) needs
 to validate that each value in `stats_summary_indices` is in range. We have patched the issue in GitHub
 commit e84c975313e8e8e38bb2ea118196369c45c51378. 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-2021-37664)
