Alpine: multiple suricata packages: security update to 6.0.15-r0

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 407293

Description

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

 - In Suricata before 6.0.13 (when there is an adversary who controls an external source of rules), a dataset
 filename, that comes from a rule, may trigger absolute or relative directory traversal, and lead to write
 access to a local filesystem. This is addressed in 6.0.13 by requiring allow-absolute-filenames and allow-
 write (in the datasets rules configuration section) if an installation requires traversal/writing in this
 situation. (CVE-2023-35852)

 - In Suricata before 6.0.13, an adversary who controls an external source of Lua rules may be able to
 execute Lua code. This is addressed in 6.0.13 by disabling Lua unless allow-rules is true in the security
 lua configuration section. (CVE-2023-35853)
