Alpine: dia: security update to 0.97.3-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400461

Description

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

- When GNOME Dia before 2019-11-27 is launched with a filename argument that is not a valid codepoint in the
current encoding, it enters an endless loop, thus endlessly writing text to stdout. If this launch is from
a thumbnailer service, this output will usually be written to disk via the system's logging facility
(potentially with elevated privileges), thus filling up the disk and eventually rendering the system
unusable. (The filename can be for a nonexistent file.) NOTE: this does not affect an upstream release,
but affects certain Linux distribution packages with version numbers such as 0.97.3. (CVE-2019-19451)
