Alpine: multiple glib packages: security update to 2.62.5-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423972

Description

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

 - GSocketClient in GNOME GLib through 2.62.4 may occasionally connect directly to a target address instead
 of connecting via a proxy server when configured to do so, because the proxy_addr field is mishandled.
 This bug is timing-dependent and may occur only sporadically depending on network delays. The greatest
 security relevance is in use cases where a proxy is used to help with privacy/anonymity, even though there
 is no technical barrier to a direct connection. NOTE: versions before 2.60 are unaffected. (CVE-2020-6750)
