Alpine: multiple darkhttpd packages: security update to 1.15-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423825

Description

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

 - darkhttpd through 1.15 allows local users to discover credentials (for --auth) by listing processes and
 their arguments. (CVE-2024-23770)

 - darkhttpd before 1.15 uses strcmp (which is not constant time) to verify authentication, which makes it
 easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication via a timing side channel. (CVE-2024-23771)
