Alpine: multiple openssh packages: security update to 7.1-r1 (deprecated)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401071

Description

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

- The resend_bytes function in roaming_common.c in the client in OpenSSH 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x before 7.1p2
allows remote servers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by requesting transmission of an
entire buffer, as demonstrated by reading a private key. (CVE-2016-0777)

- The (1) roaming_read and (2) roaming_write functions in roaming_common.c in the client in OpenSSH 5.x,
6.x, and 7.x before 7.1p2, when certain proxy and forward options are enabled, do not properly maintain
connection file descriptors, which allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer
overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by requesting many forwardings. (CVE-2016-0778)
