SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-x3v8-c8qx-3j3r)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420264

Description

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

 - TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. In affected versions the shape inference code
 for `DeserializeSparse` can trigger a null pointer dereference. This is because the shape inference
 function assumes that the `serialize_sparse` tensor is a tensor with positive rank (and having `3` as the
 last dimension). The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.7.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on
 TensorFlow 2.6.1, TensorFlow 2.5.2, and TensorFlow 2.4.4, as these are also affected and still in
 supported range. (CVE-2021-41215)
