Alpine: php7: security update to 7.4.25-r1 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400006

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In PHP versions 7.3.x below 7.3.33, 7.4.x below 7.4.26 and 8.0.x below 8.0.13, certain XML parsing
functions, like simplexml_load_file(), URL-decode the filename passed to them. If that filename contains
URL-encoded NUL character, this may cause the function to interpret this as the end of the filename, thus
interpreting the filename differently from what the user intended, which may lead it to reading a
different file than intended. (CVE-2021-21707)
