Alpine: ceph: security update to 14.2.19-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 403779

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in the Cephx authentication protocol in versions before 15.2.6 and before 14.2.14, where
 it does not verify Ceph clients correctly and is then vulnerable to replay attacks in Nautilus. This flaw
 allows an attacker with access to the Ceph cluster network to authenticate with the Ceph service via a
 packet sniffer and perform actions allowed by the Ceph service. This issue is a reintroduction of
 CVE-2018-1128, affecting the msgr2 protocol. The msgr 2 protocol is used for all communication except
 older clients that do not support the msgr2 protocol. The msgr1 protocol is not affected. The highest
 threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, and system availability. (CVE-2020-25660)

 - User credentials can be manipulated and stolen by Native CephFS consumers of OpenStack Manila, resulting
 in potential privilege escalation. An Open Stack Manila user can request access to a share to an arbitrary
 cephx user, including existing users. The access key is retrieved via the interface drivers. Then, all
 users of the requesting OpenStack project can view the access key. This enables the attacker to target any
 resource that the user has access to. This can be done to even "admin" users, compromising the ceph
 administrator. This flaw affects Ceph versions prior to 14.2.16, 15.x prior to 15.2.8, and 16.x prior to
 16.2.0. (CVE-2020-27781)
