Alpine: multiple go packages: security update to 1.22.5-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 426597

Description

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

 - The net/http HTTP/1.1 client mishandled the case where a server responds to a request with an "Expect:
 100-continue" header with a non-informational (200 or higher) status. This mishandling could leave a
 client connection in an invalid state, where the next request sent on the connection will fail. An
 attacker sending a request to a net/http/httputil.ReverseProxy proxy can exploit this mishandling to cause
 a denial of service by sending "Expect: 100-continue" requests which elicit a non-informational response
 from the backend. Each such request leaves the proxy with an invalid connection, and causes one subsequent
 request using that connection to fail. (CVE-2024-24791)
