SCA: security update for kubevirt.io/kubevirt (GHSA-46xp-26xh-hpqh)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436001

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. The `hostDisk` feature in KubeVirt allows
 mounting a host file or directory owned by the user with UID 107 into a VM. However, prior to version
 1.6.1 and 1.7.0, the implementation of this feature and more specifically the `DiskOrCreate` option (which
 creates a file if it doesn't exist) has a logic bug that allows an attacker to read and write arbitrary
 files owned by more privileged users on the host system. Versions 1.6.1 and 1.7.0 fix the issue.
 (CVE-2025-64324)
