How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.5 libgit2 to version 0.24.6-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libgit2 package and not the libgit2 package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the git_pkt_parse_line function in transports/smart_pkt.c in the Git Smart Protocol support in libgit2 before 0.24.6 and 0.25.x before 0.25.1 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted non-flush packet.
