Alpine: multiple mbedtls2 packages: security update to 2.28.7-r0

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 427345

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS 2.x before 2.28.7 and 3.x before 3.5.2. There was a timing side
 channel in RSA private operations. This side channel could be sufficient for a local attacker to recover
 the plaintext. It requires the attacker to send a large number of messages for decryption, as described in
 "Everlasting ROBOT: the Marvin Attack" by Hubert Kario. (CVE-2024-23170)

 - Integer Overflow vulnerability in Mbed TLS 2.x before 2.28.7 and 3.x before 3.5.2, allows attackers to
 cause a denial of service (DoS) via mbedtls_x509_set_extension(). (CVE-2024-23775)
