Alpine: multiple libcue packages: security update to 2.2.1-r1 (deprecated)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401383

Description

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

- libcue provides an API for parsing and extracting data from CUE sheets. Versions 2.2.1 and prior are
vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access. A user of the GNOME desktop environment can be exploited by
downloading a cue sheet from a malicious webpage. Because the file is saved to `~/Downloads`, it is then
automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use
libcue to parse the file. The file exploits the vulnerability in libcue to gain code execution. This issue
is patched in version 2.3.0. (CVE-2023-43641)
