Alpine: nomad: security update to 1.4.8-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 405868

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - HTTP and MIME header parsing can allocate large amounts of memory, even when parsing small inputs,
 potentially leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns of input data can cause the common
 function used to parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than required to hold
 the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP server to allocate large
 amounts of memory from a small request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
 With fix, header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed headers.
 (CVE-2023-24534)
