Alpine: multiple runc packages: security update to 1.0.0_rc7

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 407016

Description

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

 - runc through 1.0-rc6, as used in Docker before 18.09.2 and other products, allows attackers to overwrite
 the host runc binary (and consequently obtain host root access) by leveraging the ability to execute a
 command as root within one of these types of containers: (1) a new container with an attacker-controlled
 image, or (2) an existing container, to which the attacker previously had write access, that can be
 attached with docker exec. This occurs because of file-descriptor mishandling, related to /proc/self/exe.
 (CVE-2019-5736)
