Alpine: asterisk: security update to 20.9.2-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408495

Description

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

 - Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange (PBX) and telephony toolkit. Prior to asterisk versions
 18.24.2, 20.9.2, and 21.4.2 and certified-asterisk versions 18.9-cert11 and 20.7-cert2, an AMI user with
 `write=originate` may change all configuration files in the `/etc/asterisk/` directory. This occurs
 because they are able to curl remote files and write them to disk, but are also able to append to existing
 files using the `FILE` function inside the `SET` application. This issue may result in privilege
 escalation, remote code execution and/or blind server-side request forgery with arbitrary protocol.
 Asterisk versions 18.24.2, 20.9.2, and 21.4.2 and certified-asterisk versions 18.9-cert11 and 20.7-cert2
 contain a fix for this issue. (CVE-2024-42365)
