Alpine: openssl3: security update to 3.0.8-r3

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406173

Description

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

 - Issue summary: The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit ARM platform contains a bug that
 could cause it to read past the input buffer, leading to a crash. Impact summary: Applications that use
 the AES-XTS algorithm on the 64 bit ARM platform can crash in rare circumstances. The AES-XTS algorithm is
 usually used for disk encryption. The AES-XTS cipher decryption implementation for 64 bit ARM platform
 will read past the end of the ciphertext buffer if the ciphertext size is 4 mod 5 in 16 byte blocks, e.g.
 144 bytes or 1024 bytes. If the memory after the ciphertext buffer is unmapped, this will trigger a crash
 which results in a denial of service. If an attacker can control the size and location of the ciphertext
 buffer being decrypted by an application using AES-XTS on 64 bit ARM, the application is affected. This is
 fairly unlikely making this issue a Low severity one. (CVE-2023-1255)
