SCA: security update for github.com/fluxcd/flux2, github.com/fluxcd/helm-controller (GHSA-p2g7-xwvr-rrw3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417219

Description

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

 - Flux2 is a tool for keeping Kubernetes clusters in sync with sources of configuration, and Flux's helm-
 controller is a Kubernetes operator that allows one to declaratively manage Helm chart releases. Helm
 controller is tightly integrated with the Helm SDK. A vulnerability found in the Helm SDK that affects
 flux2 v0.0.17 until v0.32.0 and helm-controller v0.0.4 until v0.23.0 allows for specific data inputs to
 cause high memory consumption. In some platforms, this could cause the controller to panic and stop
 processing reconciliations. In a shared cluster multi-tenancy environment, a tenant could create a
 HelmRelease that makes the controller panic, denying all other tenants from their Helm releases being
 reconciled. Patches are available in flux2 v0.32.0 and helm-controller v0.23.0. (CVE-2022-36049)
