SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-vmjw-c2vp-p33c)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419423

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 cause denial of service in applications serving models using `tf.raw_ops.NonMaxSuppressionV5` by
 triggering a division by 0. The [implementation](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/460e000de3a
 83278fb00b61a16d161b1964f15f4/tensorflow/core/kernels/image/non_max_suppression_op.cc#L170-L271) uses a
 user controlled argument to resize a `std::vector`. However, as `std::vector::resize` takes the size
 argument as a `size_t` and `output_size` is an `int`, there is an implicit conversion to unsigned. If the
 attacker supplies a negative value, this conversion results in a crash. A similar issue occurs in
 `CombinedNonMaxSuppression`. We have patched the issue in GitHub commit
 3a7362750d5c372420aa8f0caf7bf5b5c3d0f52d and commit [b5cdbf12ffcaaffecf98f22a6be5a64bb96e4f58. 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-2021-37669)
