For anyone else using SWAG, it looks like a fix is on its way but not available yet. This SWAG issue points to an upstream Alpine package dependency that needs to be updated first. Looking at the source, they just recently committed backported patches, so presumably a new version will be released soon; then the SWAG image can be updated.
