Alpine: openssh: security update to 0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408146

Description

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

 - The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path,
 leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in
 /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an
 incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009. (CVE-2023-38408)
