How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.6 libplist to version 2.0.0-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libplist package and not the libplist package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The parse_dict_node function in bplist.c in libplist allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds heap read and crash) via a crafted file.
