Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- go-unixfs is an implementation of a unix-like filesystem on top of an ipld merkledag. Trying to read
malformed HAMT sharded directories can cause panics and virtual memory leaks. If you are reading untrusted
user input, an attacker can then trigger a panic. This is caused by bogus `fanout` parameter in the HAMT
