SCA: security update for kubevirt.io/kubevirt (GHSA-9m94-w2vq-hcf9)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435989

Description

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

 - KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes. Prior to 1.7.0-beta.0, a logic flaw in the
 virt-controller allows an attacker to disrupt the control over a running VMI by creating a pod with the
 same labels as the legitimate virt-launcher pod associated with the VMI. This can mislead the virt-
 controller into associating the fake pod with the VMI, resulting in incorrect status updates and
 potentially causing a DoS (Denial-of-Service). This vulnerability is fixed in 1.7.0-beta.0.
 (CVE-2025-64435)
