Description

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

 - Kubernetes CSI snapshot-controller prior to v2.1.3 and v3.0.2 could panic when processing a VolumeSnapshot
 custom resource when: - The VolumeSnapshot referenced a non-existing PersistentVolumeClaim and the
 VolumeSnapshot did not reference any VolumeSnapshotClass. - The snapshot-controller crashes, is
 automatically restarted by Kubernetes, and processes the same VolumeSnapshot custom resource after the

 other Kubernetes functionality is not affected. (CVE-2020-8569)
