Alpine: multiple go packages: security update to 1.21.5-r0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408074

Description

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

 - A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response
 body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further
 exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a
 handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which
 permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The
 net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large
 metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real
 body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)
