Alpine: multiple bind packages: security update to 9.14.8-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423700

Description

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

- With pipelining enabled each incoming query on a TCP connection requires a similar resource allocation to
a query received via UDP or via TCP without pipelining enabled. A client using a TCP-pipelined connection
to a server could consume more resources than the server has been provisioned to handle. When a TCP
connection with a large number of pipelined queries is closed, the load on the server releasing these
multiple resources can cause it to become unresponsive, even for queries that can be answered
authoritatively or from cache. (This is most likely to be perceived as an intermittent server problem).
(CVE-2019-6477)
