Alpine: multiple go packages: security update to 1.20.7-r0
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404782
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host
header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send
requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value. (CVE-2023-29406)
- Extremely large RSA keys in certificate chains can cause a client/server to expend significant CPU time
verifying signatures. With fix, the size of RSA keys transmitted during handshakes is restricted to <=
8192 bits. Based on a survey of publicly trusted RSA keys, there are currently only three certificates in
circulation with keys larger than this, and all three appear to be test certificates that are not actively
deployed. It is possible there are larger keys in use in private PKIs, but we target the web PKI, so
causing breakage here in the interests of increasing the default safety of users of crypto/tls seems
reasonable. (CVE-2023-29409)
