The problem affected all versions of Alpine Linux since 3.3. It is worth noting that Alpine Linux is one of the most popular distributions on the Docker Hub, with more than 10,000,000 installations.

The vulnerability received the identifier CVE-2019-5021, and in this case it is interesting that it was not discovered for the first time. The problem was already paid attention in August 2015 and corrected in November.
