Alpine: multiple py3-gitpython packages: security update to 3.1.35-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401382

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. In order to resolve some git
references, GitPython reads files from the `.git` directory, in some places the name of the file being
read is provided by the user, GitPython doesn't check if this file is located outside the `.git`
directory. This allows an attacker to make GitPython read any file from the system. This vulnerability is
present in https://github.com/gitpython-
developers/GitPython/blob/1c8310d7cae144f74a671cbe17e51f63a830adbf/git/refs/symbolic.py#L174-L175. That
code joins the base directory with a user given string without checking if the final path is located
outside the base directory. This vulnerability cannot be used to read the contents of files but could in
theory be used to trigger a denial of service for the program. This issue has been addressed in version
3.1.37. (CVE-2023-41040)
