Alpine: multiple docker packages: security update to 26.0.2-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427579

Description

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

 - Moby is an open source container framework that is a key component of Docker Engine, Docker Desktop, and
 other distributions of container tooling or runtimes. In 26.0.0, IPv6 is not disabled on network
 interfaces, including those belonging to networks where `--ipv6=false`. An container with an `ipvlan` or
 `macvlan` interface will normally be configured to share an external network link with the host machine.
 Because of this direct access, (1) Containers may be able to communicate with other hosts on the local
 network over link-local IPv6 addresses, (2) if router advertisements are being broadcast over the local
 network, containers may get SLAAC-assigned addresses, and (3) the interface will be a member of IPv6
 multicast groups. This means interfaces in IPv4-only networks present an unexpectedly and unnecessarily
 increased attack surface. The issue is patched in 26.0.2. To completely disable IPv6 in a container, use
 `--sysctl=net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1` in the `docker create` or `docker run` command. Or, in the
 service configuration of a `compose` file. (CVE-2024-32473)
