SCA: security update for tensorflow, tensorflow-cpu, tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-xvjm-fvxx-q3hv)

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420684

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 denial of
 service via a `CHECK`-fail in caused by an integer overflow in constructing a new tensor shape. This is
 because the implementation(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0908c2f2397c099338b901b067f6495a5
 b96760b/tensorflow/core/kernels/sparse_split_op.cc#L66-L70) builds a dense shape without checking that the
 dimensions would not result in overflow. The `TensorShape` constructor(https://github.com/tensorflow/tenso
 rflow/blob/6f9896890c4c703ae0a0845394086e2e1e523299/tensorflow/core/framework/tensor_shape.cc#L183-L188)
 uses a `CHECK` operation which triggers when `InitDims`(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/6f98
 96890c4c703ae0a0845394086e2e1e523299/tensorflow/core/framework/tensor_shape.cc#L212-L296) returns a non-OK
 status. This is a legacy implementation of the constructor and operations should use
 `BuildTensorShapeBase` or `AddDimWithStatus` to prevent `CHECK`-failures in the presence of overflows. 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-2021-29584)
