Upgrade Alpine:3.20 nss to version 3.39-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nss package and not the nss package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.20 relevant fixed versions and status.
When handling a SSLv2-compatible ClientHello request, the server doesn't generate a new random value but sends an all-zero value instead. This results in full malleability of the ClientHello for SSLv2 used for TLS 1.2 in all versions prior to NSS 3.39. This does not impact TLS 1.3.
