Alpine: multiple openjpeg packages: security update to 2.5.0-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 424280

Description

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

 - A heap-based buffer overflow was found in openjpeg in color.c:379:42 in sycc420_to_rgb when decompressing
 a crafted .j2k file. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the
 application compiled against openjpeg. (CVE-2021-3575)

 - A flaw was found in the opj2_decompress program in openjpeg2 2.4.0 in the way it handles an input
 directory with a large number of files. When it fails to allocate a buffer to store the filenames of the
 input directory, it calls free() on an uninitialized pointer, leading to a segmentation fault and a denial
 of service. (CVE-2022-1122)
