Alpine: libcrypto3, multiple openssl packages: security update to 1.0.1-r0 (deprecated)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401237

Description

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

- The Montgomery ladder implementation in OpenSSL through 1.0.0l does not ensure that certain swap
operations have a constant-time behavior, which makes it easier for local users to obtain ECDSA nonces via
a FLUSH+RELOAD cache side-channel attack. (CVE-2014-0076)

- The (1) TLS and (2) DTLS implementations in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1g do not properly handle Heartbeat
Extension packets, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via
crafted packets that trigger a buffer over-read, as demonstrated by reading private keys, related to
d1_both.c and t1_lib.c, aka the Heartbleed bug. (CVE-2014-0160)
