Alpine: multiple nginx packages: security update to 1.8.0-r3 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 401061

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- The resolver in nginx before 1.8.1 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (invalid pointer dereference and worker process crash) via a crafted UDP DNS response.
(CVE-2016-0742)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the resolver in nginx 0.6.18 through 1.8.0 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker process crash) or possibly have unspecified other
impact via a crafted DNS response related to CNAME response processing. (CVE-2016-0746)

- The resolver in nginx before 1.8.1 and 1.9.x before 1.9.10 does not properly limit CNAME resolution, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker process resource consumption) via vectors
related to arbitrary name resolution. (CVE-2016-0747)
