Alpine: multiple php83 packages: security update to 8.3.8-r0

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408445

Description

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

- In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, when using Apache and PHP-
CGI on Windows, if the system is set up to use certain code pages, Windows may use "Best-Fit" behavior to
replace characters in command line given to Win32 API functions. PHP CGI module may misinterpret those
characters as PHP options, which may allow a malicious user to pass options to PHP binary being run, and
thus reveal the source code of scripts, run arbitrary PHP code on the server, etc. (CVE-2024-4577)

- In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, due to a code logic error,
filtering functions such as filter_var when validating URLs (FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) for certain types of
URLs the function will result in invalid user information (username + password part of URLs) being treated
as valid user information. This may lead to the downstream code accepting invalid URLs as valid and
parsing them incorrectly. (CVE-2024-5458)

- In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, the fix for CVE-2024-1874
does not work if the command name includes trailing spaces. Original issue: when using proc_open() command
with array syntax, due to insufficient escaping, if the arguments of the executed command are controlled
by a malicious user, the user can supply arguments that would execute arbitrary commands in Windows shell.
(CVE-2024-5585)
