Vulnerability ALAS-2022-1831 found in nodejs:16 image

ECR Clair scan on the latest lambda/nodejs:16 image found an OpenSSL vulnerability ALAS-2022-1831 with this description "Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2022-2068: A flaw was found in OpenSSL. The issue in CVE-2022-1292 did not find other places in the c_rehash script where it possibly passed the file names of certificates being hashed to a command executed through the shell. Some operating systems distribute this script in a manner where it is automatically executed. On these operating systems, this flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script."

I am able to get rid of this finding by adding yum update -y to my Dockerfile (Apparently other libraries like libcrypt, glibc have to be updated too - the finding did not go away by just adding yum update -y openssl). It will be good if the base image itself contains no known vulnerabilities, though.
