Alpine: multiple py3-cryptography packages: security update to 38.0.3-r1
critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 406634
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In
affected versions `Cipher.update_into` would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol,
but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as `bytes`) to be mutated,
thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an
exception. This issue has been present since `update_into` was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.
