Alpine: multiple mbedtls packages: security update to 2.6.1-r0 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400684

Description

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

- In ARM mbed TLS before 2.7.0, there is a bounds-check bypass through an integer overflow in PSK identity
parsing in the ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() function in library/ssl_srv.c. (CVE-2017-18187)

- ARM mbed TLS before 1.3.22, before 2.1.10, and before 2.7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via a crafted certificate chain that is mishandled
during RSASSA-PSS signature verification within a TLS or DTLS session. (CVE-2018-0487)

- ARM mbed TLS before 1.3.22, before 2.1.10, and before 2.7.0, when the truncated HMAC extension and CBC are
used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap corruption) via
a crafted application packet within a TLS or DTLS session. (CVE-2018-0488)
