Alpine: multiple openjpeg packages: security update to 2.2.0-r1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 424249

Description

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

 - The bmp_read_info_header function in bin/jp2/convertbmp.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0 does not reject headers with a
 zero biBitCount, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation failure) in
 the opj_image_create function in lib/openjp2/image.c, related to the opj_aligned_alloc_n function in
 opj_malloc.c. (CVE-2017-12982)

 - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the opj_t2_encode_packet function in lib/openjp2/t2.c in
 OpenJPEG 2.2.0. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of
 service or possibly unspecified other impact. (CVE-2017-14039)
