Alpine: openssl: security update to 3.3.2-r2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420850

Description

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

- Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow recovering the private key exists in
the ECDSA signature computation. Impact summary: A timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations
could allow recovering the private key by an attacker. However, measuring the timing would require either
local access to the signing application or a very fast network connection with low latency. There is a
timing signal of around 300 nanoseconds when the top word of the inverted ECDSA nonce value is zero. This
can happen with significant probability only for some of the supported elliptic curves. In particular the
NIST P-521 curve is affected. To be able to measure this leak, the attacker process must either be located
in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency. For that
reason the severity of this vulnerability is Low. The FIPS modules in 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are
affected by this issue. (CVE-2024-13176)
