Upgrade Alpine:3.12 openssh to version 7.4_p1-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh package and not the openssh package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.12 relevant fixed versions and status.
authfile.c in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not properly consider the effects of realloc on buffer contents, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive private-key information by leveraging access to a privilege-separated child process.
