Alpine: multiple freetype packages: security update to 2.13.1-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427808

Description

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

 - An out of bounds write exists in FreeType versions 2.13.0 and below (newer versions of FreeType are not
 vulnerable) when attempting to parse font subglyph structures related to TrueType GX and variable font
 files. The vulnerable code assigns a signed short value to an unsigned long and then adds a static value
 causing it to wrap around and allocate too small of a heap buffer. The code then writes up to 6 signed
 long integers out of bounds relative to this buffer. This may result in arbitrary code execution. This
 vulnerability may have been exploited in the wild. (CVE-2025-27363)
