Upgrade Alpine:3.19 openssl to version 1.1.1d-r1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssl package and not the openssl package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.19 relevant fixed versions and status.
OpenSSL 1.1.1 introduced a rewritten random number generator (RNG). This was intended to include protection in the event of a fork() system call in order to ensure that the parent and child processes did not share the same RNG state. However this protection was not being used in the default case. A partial mitigation for this issue is that the output from a high precision timer is mixed into the RNG state so the likelihood of a parent and child process sharing state is significantly reduced. If an application already calls OPENSSL_init_crypto() explicitly using OPENSSL_INIT_ATFORK then this problem does not occur at all. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1d (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1c).
