SCA: security update for helm.sh/helm/v3 (GHSA-53c4-hhmh-vw5q)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410527

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Helm is a tool for managing Charts, pre-configured Kubernetes resources. Versions prior to 3.10.3 are
 subject to NULL Pointer Dereference in the _repo_package. The _repo_ package contains a handler that
 processes the index file of a repository. For example, the Helm client adds references to chart
 repositories where charts are managed. The _repo_ package parses the index file of the repository and
 loads it into structures Go can work with. Some index files can cause array data structures to be created
 causing a memory violation. Applications that use the _repo_ package in the Helm SDK to parse an index
 file can suffer a Denial of Service when that input causes a panic that cannot be recovered from. The Helm
 Client will panic with an index file that causes a memory violation panic. Helm is not a long running
 service so the panic will not affect future uses of the Helm client. This issue has been patched in
 3.10.3. SDK users can validate index files that are correctly formatted before passing them to the _repo_
 functions. (CVE-2022-23525)
