SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-x5cp-9pcf-pp3h)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420303

Description

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

- In Tensorflow before version 2.3.1, the `RaggedCountSparseOutput` does not validate that the input
arguments form a valid ragged tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the `splits` tensor has
the minimum required number of elements. Code uses this quantity to initialize a different data structure.
Since `BatchedMap` is equivalent to a vector, it needs to have at least one element to not be `nullptr`.
If user passes a `splits` tensor that is empty or has exactly one element, we get a `SIGABRT` signal
raised by the operating system. The issue is patched in commit 3cbb917b4714766030b28eba9fb41bb97ce9ee02
and is released in TensorFlow version 2.3.1. (CVE-2020-15199)
