Alpine: curl: security update to 7.53.0
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 403968
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- curl before 7.53.0 has an incorrect TLS Certificate Status Request extension feature that asks for a fresh
proof of the server's certificate's validity in the code that checks for a test success or failure. It
ends up always thinking there's valid proof, even when there is none or if the server doesn't support the
TLS extension in question. This could lead to users not detecting when a server's certificate goes invalid
or otherwise be mislead that the server is in a better shape than it is in reality. This flaw also exists
in the command line tool (--cert-status). (CVE-2017-2629)
