Alpine: multiple go packages: security update to 1.16.5-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404752

Description

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

- Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5 has functions for DNS lookups that do not validate replies from
DNS servers, and thus a return value may contain an unsafe injection (e.g., XSS) that does not conform to
the RFC1035 format. (CVE-2021-33195)

- In archive/zip in Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5, a crafted file count (in an archive's
header) can cause a NewReader or OpenReader panic. (CVE-2021-33196)

- In Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5, some configurations of ReverseProxy (from
net/http/httputil) result in a situation where an attacker is able to drop arbitrary headers.
(CVE-2021-33197)

- In Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5, there can be a panic for a large exponent to the
math/big.Rat SetString or UnmarshalText method. (CVE-2021-33198)
