Alpine: rabbitmq-server: security update to 3.8.17-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400175

Description

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

- RabbitMQ is a multi-protocol messaging broker. In rabbitmq-server prior to version 3.8.18, when a
federation link was displayed in the RabbitMQ management UI via the `rabbitmq_federation_management`
plugin, its consumer tag was rendered without proper <script> tag sanitization. This potentially allows
for JavaScript code execution in the context of the page. The user must be signed in and have elevated
permissions (manage federation upstreams and policies) for this to occur. The vulnerability is patched in
RabbitMQ 3.8.18. As a workaround, disable the `rabbitmq_federation_management` plugin and use [CLI
tools](https://www.rabbitmq.com/cli.html) instead. (CVE-2021-32719)
