Description

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

- Flux is an open and extensible continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes. Versions prior to 0.35.0 are
subject to a Denial of Service. Users that have permissions to change Flux’s objects, either through a
Flux source or directly within a cluster, can provide invalid data to fields `.spec.interval` or
`.spec.timeout` (and structured variations of these fields), causing the entire object type to stop being
processed. This issue is patched in version 0.35.0. As a workaround, Admission controllers can be employed
to restrict the values that can be used for fields `.spec.interval` and `.spec.timeout`, however upgrading
to the latest versions is still the recommended mitigation. (CVE-2022-39272)
