Alpine: multiple glib-networking packages: security update to 2.64.3-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404688

Description

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

 - In GNOME glib-networking through 2.64.2, the implementation of GTlsClientConnection skips hostname
 verification of the server's TLS certificate if the application fails to specify the expected server
 identity. This is in contrast to its intended documented behavior, to fail the certificate verification.
 Applications that fail to provide the server identity, including Balsa before 2.5.11 and 2.6.x before
 2.6.1, accept a TLS certificate if the certificate is valid for any host. (CVE-2020-13645)
