SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-r6pg-pjwc-j585)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 418545

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. An attacker can trigger a null
 pointer dereference in the implementation of `tf.raw_ops.SparseFillEmptyRows`. This is because of missing
 validation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/fdc82089d206e281c628a93771336bf87863d5e8/tensorfl
 ow/core/kernels/sparse_fill_empty_rows_op.cc#L230-L231) that was covered under a `TODO`. If the
 `dense_shape` tensor is empty, then `dense_shape_t.vec<>()` would cause a null pointer dereference in the
 implementation of the op. The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick this
 commit on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also
 affected and still in supported range. (CVE-2021-29565)
