How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.11 jq to version 1.6_rc1-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jq package and not the jq package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The jv_dump_term function in jq 1.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted JSON file. This issue has been fixed in jq 1.6_rc1-r0.
