Alpine: multiple gnutls packages: security update to 3.8.3-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423924

Description

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

- A vulnerability was found that the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange
differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. (CVE-2023-5981)

- A vulnerability was found in GnuTLS. The response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK
ClientKeyExchange differ from the response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. This
issue may allow a remote attacker to perform a timing side-channel attack in the RSA-PSK key exchange,
potentially leading to the leakage of sensitive data. CVE-2024-0553 is designated as an incomplete
resolution for CVE-2023-5981. (CVE-2024-0553)

- A vulnerability was found in GnuTLS, where a cockpit (which uses gnuTLS) rejects a certificate chain with
distributed trust. This issue occurs when validating a certificate chain with cockpit-certificate-ensure.
This flaw allows an unauthenticated, remote client or attacker to initiate a denial of service attack.
(CVE-2024-0567)
