Alpine: multiple go packages: security update to 1.18.7-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404768

Description

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

- Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. A maliciously crafted archive could
cause Read to allocate unbounded amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics.
After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB. (CVE-2022-2879)

- Requests forwarded by ReverseProxy include the raw query parameters from the inbound request, including
unparsable parameters rejected by net/http. This could permit query parameter smuggling when a Go proxy
forwards a parameter with an unparsable value. After fix, ReverseProxy sanitizes the query parameters in
the forwarded query when the outbound request's Form field is set after the ReverseProxy. Director
function returns, indicating that the proxy has parsed the query parameters. Proxies which do not parse
query parameters continue to forward the original query parameters unchanged. (CVE-2022-2880)

- Programs which compile regular expressions from untrusted sources may be vulnerable to memory exhaustion
or denial of service. The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input, but in some
cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000, making relatively small regexps consume much larger
amounts of memory. After fix, each regexp being parsed is limited to a 256 MB memory footprint. Regular
expressions whose representation would use more space than that are rejected. Normal use of regular
expressions is unaffected. (CVE-2022-41715)
