Alpine: libcrypto3, multiple openssl packages: security update to 1.0.0-r0 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401259

Description

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

- Multiple race conditions in ssl/t1_lib.c in OpenSSL 0.9.8f through 0.9.8o, 1.0.0, and 1.0.0a, when multi-
threading and internal caching are enabled on a TLS server, might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via client data that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, related to (1) the TLS server
name extension and (2) elliptic curve cryptography. (CVE-2010-3864)

- OpenSSL before 0.9.8q, and 1.0.x before 1.0.0c, when SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG is enabled,
does not properly prevent modification of the ciphersuite in the session cache, which allows remote
attackers to force the downgrade to an unintended cipher via vectors involving sniffing network traffic to
discover a session identifier. (CVE-2010-4180)

- OpenSSL before 1.0.0c, when J-PAKE is enabled, does not properly validate the public parameters in the
J-PAKE protocol, which allows remote attackers to bypass the need for knowledge of the shared secret, and
successfully authenticate, by sending crafted values in each round of the protocol. (CVE-2010-4252)
