Alpine: guile: security update to 2.0.11-r3

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404846

Description

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

 - The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window,
 in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions. For
 example, mkdir without the optional mode argument would create directories as 0777. This is fixed in Guile
 2.0.13. Prior versions are affected. (CVE-2016-8605)

 - The REPL server (--listen) in GNU Guile 2.0.12 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via an HTTP
 inter-protocol attack. (CVE-2016-8606)
