Alpine: multiple mbedtls packages: security update to 2.28.9-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 425655

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.28.9 and 3.x before 3.6.1, in which the user-selected
 algorithm is not used. Unlike previously documented, enabling MBEDTLS_PSA_HMAC_DRBG_MD_TYPE does not cause
 the PSA subsystem to use HMAC_DRBG: it uses HMAC_DRBG only when MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG and
 MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_C are disabled. (CVE-2024-45157)
