Alpine: multiple sudo packages: security update to 1.7.2-r0 (deprecated)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401270

Description

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

- sudo 1.6.x before 1.6.9p21 and 1.7.x before 1.7.2p4, when a pseudo-command is enabled, permits a match
between the name of the pseudo-command and the name of an executable file in an arbitrary directory, which
allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted executable file, as demonstrated by a file named
sudoedit in a user's home directory. (CVE-2010-0426)

- sudo 1.6.x before 1.6.9p21, when the runas_default option is used, does not properly set group
memberships, which allows local users to gain privileges via a sudo command. (CVE-2010-0427)
