Alpine: multiple busybox packages, ssl_client: security update to 1.29.3-r9 (deprecated)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400622

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in BusyBox before 1.30.0. An out of bounds read in udhcp components (consumed by
the DHCP server, client, and relay) allows a remote attacker to leak sensitive information from the stack
by sending a crafted DHCP message. This is related to verification in udhcp_get_option() in
networking/udhcp/common.c that 4-byte options are indeed 4 bytes. (CVE-2018-20679)

- An issue was discovered in BusyBox through 1.30.0. An out of bounds read in udhcp components (consumed by
the DHCP client, server, and/or relay) might allow a remote attacker to leak sensitive information from
the stack by sending a crafted DHCP message. This is related to assurance of a 4-byte length when decoding
DHCP_SUBNET. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-20679. (CVE-2019-5747)
