Alpine: multiple libssh packages: security update to 0.8.8-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 405311

Description

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

 - A flaw was found with the libssh API function ssh_scp_new() in versions before 0.9.3 and before 0.8.8.
 When the libssh SCP client connects to a server, the scp command, which includes a user-provided path, is
 executed on the server-side. In case the library is used in a way where users can influence the third
 parameter of the function, it would become possible for an attacker to inject arbitrary commands, leading
 to a compromise of the remote target. (CVE-2019-14889)
