Hi,

You are correct, but we simply need to understand whether it is vulnerable or not. Why does it only appear for these branches and not below?

Hi Dor,

this is probably because releases are supported for 2 years and 3.13 was 
still supported at the time of this vulnerability, while 3.8 has not been 
supported since 2020-05-01.

Best,
Edin

Because at the time the secfixes-tracker was written (initial commit is
March 2021)[1], alpine 3.8 was already out of support[2] (EOL was
2020-05-01).

I suppose nobody cared enough to import historical data for releases
that were already out of support.
