Alpine: multiple hermes packages: security update to 0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 404886

Description

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

 - A logic vulnerability when handling the SaveGeneratorLong instruction in Facebook Hermes prior to commit
 b2021df620824627f5a8c96615edbd1eb7fdddfc allows attackers to potentially read out of bounds or
 theoretically execute arbitrary code via crafted JavaScript. Note that this is only exploitable if the
 application using Hermes permits evaluation of untrusted JavaScript. Hence, most React Native applications
 are not affected. (CVE-2020-1914)

 - An out-of-bounds read in the JavaScript Interpreter in Facebook Hermes prior to commit
 8cb935cd3b2321c46aa6b7ed8454d95c75a7fca0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service attack or possible
 further memory corruption via crafted JavaScript. Note that this is only exploitable if the application
 using Hermes permits evaluation of untrusted JavaScript. Hence, most React Native applications are not
 affected. (CVE-2020-1915)
