Alpine: multiple lighttpd packages: security update to 1.4.63-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400023

Description

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

- In lighttpd 1.4.46 through 1.4.63, the mod_extforward_Forwarded function of the mod_extforward plugin has
a stack-based buffer overflow (4 bytes representing -1), as demonstrated by remote denial of service
(daemon crash) in a non-default configuration. The non-default configuration requires handling of the
Forwarded header in a somewhat unusual manner. Also, a 32-bit system is much more likely to be affected
than a 64-bit system. (CVE-2022-22707)
