SCA: security update for helm.sh/helm/v3 (GHSA-67fx-wx78-jx33)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411275

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_chartutil_ package that can cause a segmentation violation. The
_chartutil_ package contains a parser that loads a JSON Schema validation file. For example, the Helm
client when rendering a chart will validate its values with the schema file. The _chartutil_ package
parses the schema file and loads it into structures Go can work with. Some schema files can cause array
data structures to be created causing a memory violation. Applications that use the _chartutil_ package in
the Helm SDK to parse a schema file can suffer a Denial of Service when that input causes a panic that
cannot be recovered from. 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 schema files that are
correctly formatted before passing them to the _chartutil_ functions. (CVE-2022-23526)
