Alpine: libcrypto3, multiple openssl packages: security update to 3.1.7-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 425677

Description

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

 - Issue summary: Applications performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server
 certificates) may attempt to read an invalid memory address resulting in abnormal termination of the
 application process. Impact summary: Abnormal termination of an application can a cause a denial of
 service. Applications performing certificate name checks (e.g., TLS clients checking server certificates)
 may attempt to read an invalid memory address when comparing the expected name with an `otherName` subject
 alternative name of an X.509 certificate. This may result in an exception that terminates the application
 program. Note that basic certificate chain validation (signatures, dates, ...) is not affected, the denial
 of service can occur only when the application also specifies an expected DNS name, Email address or IP
 address. TLS servers rarely solicit client certificates, and even when they do, they generally don't
 perform a name check against a reference identifier (expected identity), but rather extract the presented
 identity after checking the certificate chain. So TLS servers are generally not affected and the severity
 of the issue is Moderate. The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.
