Alpine: openssl: security update to 3.0.8-r2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406123

Description

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

 - Applications that use a non-default option when verifying certificates may be vulnerable to an attack from
 a malicious CA to circumvent certain checks. Invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are
 silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are skipped for that certificate. A
 malicious CA could use this to deliberately assert invalid certificate policies in order to circumvent
 policy checking on the certificate altogether. Policy processing is disabled by default but can be enabled
 by passing the `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the
 `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()' function. (CVE-2023-0465)
