Alpine: multiple containerd packages: security update to 1.3.3-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 403888

Description

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

- Improper input validation in the Kubernetes API server in versions v1.0-1.12 and versions prior to
v1.13.12, v1.14.8, v1.15.5, and v1.16.2 allows authorized users to send malicious YAML or JSON payloads,
causing the API server to consume excessive CPU or memory, potentially crashing and becoming unavailable.
Prior to v1.14.0, default RBAC policy authorized anonymous users to submit requests that could trigger
this vulnerability. Clusters upgraded from a version prior to v1.14.0 keep the more permissive policy by
default for backwards compatibility. (CVE-2019-11253)

- runc through 1.0.0-rc9 has Incorrect Access Control leading to Escalation of Privileges, related to
libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. To exploit this, an attacker must be able to spawn two containers with
custom volume-mount configurations, and be able to run custom images. (This vulnerability does not affect
Docker due to an implementation detail that happens to block the attack.) (CVE-2019-19921)

- A spoofing vulnerability exists in the way Windows CryptoAPI (Crypt32.dll) validates Elliptic Curve
Cryptography (ECC) certificates.An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by using a spoofed code-
signing certificate to sign a malicious executable, making it appear the file was from a trusted,
legitimate source, aka 'Windows CryptoAPI Spoofing Vulnerability'. (CVE-2020-0601)

- Go before 1.12.16 and 1.13.x before 1.13.7 (and the crypto/cryptobyte package before
0.0.0-20200124225646-8b5121be2f68 for Go) allows attacks on clients (resulting in a panic) via a malformed
X.509 certificate. (CVE-2020-7919)
