QID 982448: Python (pip) Security Update for tensorflow (GHSA-jf7h-7m85-w2v2)

Security update has been released for tensorflow 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 TFLite code for allocating `TFLiteIntArray`s is [vulnerable to an integer overflow issue](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/4ceffae632721e52bf3501b736e4fe9d1221cdfa/tensorflow/lite/c/common.c#L24-L27):

```cc
int TfLiteIntArrayGetSizeInBytes(int size) {
static TfLiteIntArray dummy;
return sizeof(dummy) + sizeof(dummy.data[0]) * size;
}
```

An attacker can craft a model such that the `size` multiplier is so large that the return value overflows the `int` datatype and becomes negative. In turn, this results in [invalid value being given to `malloc`](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/4ceffae632721e52bf3501b736e4fe9d1221cdfa/tensorflow/lite/c/common.c#L47-L52):

```cc
TfLiteIntArray* TfLiteIntArrayCreate(int size) {
TfLiteIntArray* ret = (TfLiteIntArray*)malloc(TfLiteIntArrayGetSizeInBytes(size));
ret->size = size;
return ret;
}
```

In this case, `ret->size` would dereference an invalid pointer.

  • CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.5 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Low - 2.1 severity.
  • Solution
    We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [7c8cc4ec69cd348e44ad6a2699057ca88faad3e5](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/7c8cc4ec69cd348e44ad6a2699057ca88faad3e5).

    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.
