Alpine: openssh: security update to 6.8_p1-r9

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 406041

Description

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

 - sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4, when privilege separation is not used, creates forwarded Unix-domain sockets
 as root, which might allow local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors, related to
 serverloop.c. (CVE-2016-10010)

 - authfile.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not properly consider the effects of realloc on buffer
 contents, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive private-key information by leveraging access
 to a privilege-separated child process. (CVE-2016-10011)
