Alpine: multiple wolfssl packages: security update to 5.5.0-r0
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 426263
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 5.5.0. When a TLS 1.3 client connects to a wolfSSL server and
SSL_clear is called on its session, the server crashes with a segmentation fault. This occurs in the
second session, which is created through TLS session resumption and reuses the initial struct WOLFSSL. If
the server reuses the previous session structure (struct WOLFSSL) by calling wolfSSL_clear(WOLFSSL* ssl)
on it, the next received Client Hello (that resumes the previous session) crashes the server. Note that
this bug is only triggered when resuming sessions using TLS session resumption. Only servers that use
wolfSSL_clear instead of the recommended SSL_free; SSL_new sequence are affected. Furthermore,
wolfSSL_clear is part of wolfSSL's compatibility layer and is not enabled by default. It is not part of
wolfSSL's native API. (CVE-2022-38152)
