Alpine: multiple py3-vici packages, multiple strongswan packages: security update to 5.9.10-r0

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 424538

Description

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

 - strongSwan 5.9.8 and 5.9.9 potentially allows remote code execution because it uses a variable named
 "public" for two different purposes within the same function. There is initially incorrect access control,
 later followed by an expired pointer dereference. One attack vector is sending an untrusted client
 certificate during EAP-TLS. A server is affected only if it loads plugins that implement TLS-based EAP
 methods (EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP, or EAP-TNC). This is fixed in 5.9.10. (CVE-2023-26463)
