QID 980641: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-mmq6-q8r3-48fm)

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.

An attacker can cause a denial of service via `CHECK`-fail in `tf.strings.substr` with invalid arguments:

```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.strings.substr(input='abc', len=1, pos=[1,-1])
```

```python
import tensorflow as tf
tf.strings.substr(input='abc', len=1, pos=[1,2])
```

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.5 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Low - 2.1 severity.

Solution

We have received a patch for the issue in GitHub commit [890f7164b70354c57d40eda52dcdd7658677c09f](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/890f7164b70354c57d40eda52dcdd7658677c09f).

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.
