Alpine: multiple qemu packages: security update to 7.1.0-r3 (deprecated)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409870

Description

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

- A DMA reentrancy issue was found in the Tulip device emulation in QEMU. When Tulip reads or writes to the
rx/tx descriptor or copies the rx/tx frame, it doesn't check whether the destination address is its own
MMIO address. This can cause the device to trigger MMIO handlers multiple times, possibly leading to a
stack or heap overflow. A malicious guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host,
resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-2962)

- An integer underflow issue was found in the QEMU VNC server while processing ClientCutText messages in the
extended format. A malicious client could use this flaw to make QEMU unresponsive by sending a specially
crafted payload message, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-3165)
