SCA: security update for github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics (GHSA-66jq-2c23-2xh5)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436176

Description

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

- VictoriaMetrics is a scalable solution for monitoring and managing time series data. In versions from
1.0.0 to before 1.110.23, from 1.111.0 to before 1.122.8, and from 1.123.0 to before 1.129.1, affected
versions are vulnerable to DoS attacks because the snappy decoder ignored VictoriaMetrics request size
limits allowing malformed blocks to trigger excessive memory use. This could lead to OOM errors and
service instability. The fix enforces block-size checks based on MaxRequest limits. This issue has been
patched in versions 1.110.23, 1.122.8, and 1.129.1. (CVE-2025-65942)
