QID 980167: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-j86v-p27c-73fm)

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.

During execution, [`EinsumHelper::ParseEquation()`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/e0b6e58c328059829c3eb968136f17aa72b6c876/tensorflow/core/kernels/linalg/einsum_op_impl.h#L126-L181) is supposed to set the flags in `input_has_ellipsis` vector and `*output_has_ellipsis` boolean to indicate whether there is ellipsis in the corresponding inputs and output.

However, the code only changes these flags to `true` and never assigns `false`.

```cc
for (int i = 0; i < num_inputs; ++i) {
input_label_counts->at(i).resize(num_labels);
for (const int label : input_labels->at(i)) {
if (label != kEllipsisLabel)
input_label_counts->at(i)[label] += 1;
else
input_has_ellipsis->at(i) = true;
}
}
output_label_counts->resize(num_labels);
for (const int label : *output_labels) {
if (label != kEllipsisLabel)
output_label_counts->at(label) += 1;
else
*output_has_ellipsis = true;
}
```

This results in unitialized variable access if callers assume that `EinsumHelper::ParseEquation()` always sets these flags.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.8 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.6 severity.
  • Solution
    We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [f09caa532b6e1ac8d2aa61b7832c78c5b79300c6](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/f09caa532b6e1ac8d2aa61b7832c78c5b79300c6).

    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.
