Alpine: multiple containerd packages: security update to 1.6.5-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408650

Description

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

- containerd is an open source container runtime. A bug was found in the containerd's CRI implementation
where programs inside a container can cause the containerd daemon to consume memory without bound during
invocation of the `ExecSync` API. This can cause containerd to consume all available memory on the
computer, denying service to other legitimate workloads. Kubernetes and crictl can both be configured to
use containerd's CRI implementation; `ExecSync` may be used when running probes or when executing
processes via an "exec" facility. This bug has been fixed in containerd 1.6.6 and 1.5.13. Users should
update to these versions to resolve the issue. Users unable to upgrade should ensure that only trusted
images and commands are used. (CVE-2022-31030)
