Alpine: multiple wolfssl packages: security update to 5.6.2-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427691

Description

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

 - If a TLS 1.3 client gets neither a PSK (pre shared key) extension nor a KSE (key share extension) when
 connecting to a malicious server, a default predictable buffer gets used for the IKM (Input Keying
 Material) value when generating the session master secret. Using a potentially known IKM value when
 generating the session master secret key compromises the key generated, allowing an eavesdropper to
 reconstruct it and potentially allowing access to or meddling with message contents in the session. This
 issue does not affect client validation of connected servers, nor expose private key information, but
 could result in an insecure TLS 1.3 session when not controlling both sides of the connection. wolfSSL
 recommends that TLS 1.3 client side users update the version of wolfSSL used. (CVE-2023-3724)
