SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-vcjj-9vg7-vf68)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419272

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 craft a TFLite model that would trigger a null pointer dereference, which would result in a crash and
 denial of service. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/149562d49faa709ea80d
 f1d99fc41d005b81082a/tensorflow/lite/kernels/internal/optimized/optimized_ops.h#L268-L285) unconditionally
 dereferences a pointer. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit
 15691e456c7dc9bd6be203b09765b063bf4a380c. 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-2021-37688)
