Alpine: multiple apache2 packages: security update to 2.4.38-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423675

Description

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

- In Apache HTTP server versions 2.4.37 and prior, by sending request bodies in a slow loris way to plain
resources, the h2 stream for that request unnecessarily occupied a server thread cleaning up that incoming
data. This affects only HTTP/2 (mod_http2) connections. (CVE-2018-17189)

- In Apache HTTP Server 2.4 release 2.4.37 and prior, mod_session checks the session expiry time before
decoding the session. This causes session expiry time to be ignored for mod_session_cookie sessions since
the expiry time is loaded when the session is decoded. (CVE-2018-17199)

- A bug exists in the way mod_ssl handled client renegotiations. A remote attacker could send a carefully
crafted request that would cause mod_ssl to enter a loop leading to a denial of service. This bug can be
only triggered with Apache HTTP Server version 2.4.37 when using OpenSSL version 1.1.1 or later, due to an
interaction in changes to handling of renegotiation attempts. (CVE-2019-0190)
