Alpine: multiple collectd packages: security update to 5.6.2-r1

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 403864

Description

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

 - Incorrect interaction of the parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions in network.c in
 collectd 5.7.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) of a
 collectd instance (configured with "SecurityLevel None" and with empty "AuthFile" options) via a crafted
 UDP packet. (CVE-2017-7401)

 - The csnmp_read_table function in snmp.c in the SNMP plugin in collectd before 5.6.3 is susceptible to a
 double free in a certain error case, which could lead to a crash (or potentially have other impact).
 (CVE-2017-16820)
