Alpine: libcrypto3, multiple openssl packages: security update to 3.0.7-r2

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 424299

Description

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

 - If an X.509 certificate contains a malformed policy constraint and policy processing is enabled, then a
 write lock will be taken twice recursively. On some operating systems (most widely: Windows) this results
 in a denial of service when the affected process hangs. Policy processing being enabled on a publicly
 facing server is not considered to be a common setup. Policy processing is enabled by passing the
 `-policy' argument to the command line utilities or by calling the `X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_policies()'
 function. Update (31 March 2023): The description of the policy processing enablement was corrected based
 on CVE-2023-0466. (CVE-2022-3996)
