Description

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

 - Trivy is a security scanner. Prior to 0.71.0, when Trivy scans a Helm chart archive (.tgz), its custom tar
 unpacker reads each entry with io.ReadAll(tr) and no size limit. An attacker who can place a malicious
 .tgz file in the scanned path can craft a small compressed archive that decompresses to gigabytes, causing
 the Trivy process to be killed by the OS OOM killer. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.71.0.
 (CVE-2026-54448)
