Description

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

 - In etcd before versions 3.3.23 and 3.4.10, a large slice causes panic in decodeRecord method. The size of
 a record is stored in the length field of a WAL file and no additional validation is done on this data.
