Alpine: multiple musl packages: security update to 1.2.5-r12

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476509

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in musl libc 0.7.10 through 1.2.6. Stack-based memory corruption can occur during
qsort of very large arrays, due to incorrectly implemented double-word primitives. The number of elements
must exceed about seven million, i.e., the 32nd Leonardo number on 32-bit platforms (or the 64th Leonardo
number on 64-bit platforms, which is not practical). (CVE-2026-40200)

- musl libc before 1.2.7, when an untrusted regular expression is used with regcomp, has multiple integer
overflows, possibly leading to incorrect allocation sizes and out-of-bounds heap writes. (CVE-2026-107891)

Solution

Update the musl library and its related packages to version 1.2.5-r12 or later.
