QID 981470: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow-gpu (GHSA-qc53-44cj-vfvx)

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 `SparseCountSparseOutput` implementation does not validate that the input arguments form a valid sparse tensor. In particular, there is no validation that the `indices` tensor has rank 2. This tensor must be a matrix because code assumes its elements are accessed as elements of a matrix:
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/0e68f4d3295eb0281a517c3662f6698992b7b2cf/tensorflow/core/kernels/count_ops.cc#L185

However, malicious users can pass in tensors of different rank, resulting in a `CHECK` assertion failure and a crash. This can be used to cause denial of service in serving installations, if users are allowed to control the components of the input sparse tensor.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 6.3 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 3.5 severity.
  • Solution
    We have patched the issue in 3cbb917b4714766030b28eba9fb41bb97ce9ee02 and will release a patch release.

    We recommend users to upgrade to TensorFlow 2.3.1.
