CVE-2024-25711 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.20 diffoscope to version 256-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream diffoscope package and not the diffoscope package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.20 relevant fixed versions and status.
diffoscope before 256 allows directory traversal via an embedded filename in a GPG file. Contents of any file, such as ../.ssh/id_rsa, may be disclosed to an attacker. This occurs because the value of the gpg --use-embedded-filenames option is trusted.
