Alpine: ruby: security update to 2.5.6-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 406979

Description

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

 - jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function
 does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery
 determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving
 attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery
 only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability
 only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common. (CVE-2012-6708)

 - jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks when a cross-domain Ajax request
 is performed without the dataType option, causing text/javascript responses to be executed.
 (CVE-2015-9251)
