Alpine: multiple traefik packages: security update to 2.9.6-r4 (deprecated)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400066

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- HTTP and MIME header parsing can allocate large amounts of memory, even when parsing small inputs,
potentially leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns of input data can cause the common
function used to parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than required to hold
the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP server to allocate large
amounts of memory from a small request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
With fix, header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed headers.
(CVE-2023-24534)

- Traefik (pronounced traffic) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer for deploying microservices.
There is a vulnerability in Go when parsing the HTTP headers, which impacts Traefik. HTTP header parsing
could allocate substantially more memory than required to hold the parsed headers. This behavior could be
exploited to cause a denial of service. This issue has been patched in versions 2.9.10 and 2.10.0-rc2.
