Alpine: multiple gnutls packages: security update to 3.8.4-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 425653

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The Minerva attack is a cryptographic vulnerability that exploits
 deterministic behavior in systems like GnuTLS, leading to side-channel leaks. In specific scenarios, such
 as when using the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE flag, it can result in a noticeable step in nonce size
 from 513 to 512 bits, exposing a potential timing side-channel. (CVE-2024-28834)

 - A flaw has been discovered in GnuTLS where an application crash can be induced when attempting to verify a
 specially crafted .pem bundle using the "certtool --verify-chain" command. (CVE-2024-28835)
