Alpine: miniperl, multiple perl packages: security update to 5.34.0-r0 (deprecated)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 400146

Description

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

- Encode.pm, as distributed in Perl through 5.34.0, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse
Encode::ConfigLocal library (in the current working directory) that preempts dynamic module loading.
Exploitation requires an unusual configuration, and certain 2021 versions of Encode.pm (3.05 through
3.11). This issue occurs because the || operator evaluates @INC in a scalar context, and thus @INC has
only an integer value. (CVE-2021-36770)
