Alpine: libcrypto3, multiple openssl packages: security update to 1.0.2-r1 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401091

Description

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

- ssl/s2_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1r and 1.0.2 before 1.0.2f does not prevent use of disabled
ciphers, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to defeat cryptographic protection
mechanisms by performing computations on SSLv2 traffic, related to the get_client_master_key and
get_client_hello functions. (CVE-2015-3197)

- The DH_check_pub_key function in crypto/dh/dh_check.c in OpenSSL 1.0.2 before 1.0.2f does not ensure that
prime numbers are appropriate for Diffie-Hellman (DH) key exchange, which makes it easier for remote
attackers to discover a private DH exponent by making multiple handshakes with a peer that chose an
inappropriate number, as demonstrated by a number in an X9.42 file. (CVE-2016-0701)
