Description

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

 - Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. Prior to version 3.18.5, it is possible to craft a
 JSON Schema file in a manner which could cause Helm to use all available memory and have an out of memory
