Alpine: multiple prometheus packages: security update to 2.27.0-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400215

Description

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

- Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system and time series database. In 2.23.0, Prometheus changed its
default UI to the New ui. To ensure a seamless transition, the URL's prefixed by /new redirect to /. Due
to a bug in the code, it is possible for an attacker to craft an URL that can redirect to any other URL,
in the /new endpoint. If a user visits a prometheus server with a specially crafted address, they can be
redirected to an arbitrary URL. The issue was patched in the 2.26.1 and 2.27.1 releases. In 2.28.0, the
/new endpoint will be removed completely. The workaround is to disable access to /new via a reverse proxy
in front of Prometheus. (CVE-2021-29622)
