Alpine: multiple bind packages: security update to 9.20.11-r0

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428418

Description

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

 - A `named` caching resolver that is configured to send ECS (EDNS Client Subnet) options may be vulnerable
 to a cache-poisoning attack. This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1
 through 9.18.37-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.10-S1. (CVE-2025-40776)

 - If a `named` caching resolver is configured with `serve-stale-enable` `yes`, and with `stale-answer-
 client-timeout` set to `0` (the only allowable value other than `disabled`), and if the resolver, in the
 process of resolving a query, encounters a CNAME chain involving a specific combination of cached or
 authoritative records, the daemon will abort with an assertion failure. This issue affects BIND 9 versions
 9.20.0 through 9.20.10, 9.21.0 through 9.21.9, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.10-S1. (CVE-2025-40777)
