Alpine: curl: security update to 0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 403945

Description

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

- curl 7.61.0 through 7.76.1 suffers from exposure of data element to wrong session due to a mistake in the
code for CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST when libcurl is built to use the Schannel TLS library. The selected
cipher set was stored in a single "static" variable in the library, which has the surprising side-effect
that if an application sets up multiple concurrent transfers, the last one that sets the ciphers will
accidentally control the set used by all transfers. In a worst-case scenario, this weakens transport
security significantly. (CVE-2021-22897)
