Alpine: python3: security update to 3.10.14-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408322

Description

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

- An issue was found in the CPython `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` class affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7,
3.10.13, 3.9.18, and 3.8.18 and prior. The tempfile.TemporaryDirectory class would dereference symlinks
during cleanup of permissions-related errors. This means users which can run privileged programs are
potentially able to modify permissions of files referenced by symlinks in some circumstances.
(CVE-2023-6597)

- An issue was found in the CPython `zipfile` module affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and
3.8.18 and prior. The zipfile module is vulnerable to “quoted-overlap” zip-bombs which exploit the zip
format to create a zip-bomb with a high compression ratio. The fixed versions of CPython makes the zipfile
module reject zip archives which overlap entries in the archive. (CVE-2024-0450)
