Alpine: go-ipfs: security update to 0.8.0-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 404786

Description

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

- go-ipfs is an open-source golang implementation of IPFS which is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer
filesystem. In go-ipfs before version 0.8.0-rc1, it is possible for path traversal to occur with DAGs
containing relative paths during retrieval. This can cause files to be overwritten, or written to
incorrect output directories. The issue can only occur when a get is done on an affected DAG. This is
fixed in version 0.8.0-rc1. (CVE-2020-26279)

- go-ipfs is an open-source golang implementation of IPFS which is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer
filesystem. In go-ipfs before version 0.8.0, control characters are not escaped from console output. This
can result in hiding input from the user which could result in the user taking an unknown, malicious
action. This is fixed in version 0.8.0. (CVE-2020-26283)
