Helm is a tool for managing Charts, pre-configured Kubernetes resources. Versions prior to 3.10.3 are subject to NULL Pointer Dereference in the _repo_package. The _repo_ package contains a handler that processes the index file of a repository. For example, the Helm client adds references to chart repositories where charts are managed. The _repo_ package parses the index file of the repository and loads it into structures Go can work with. Some index files can cause array data structures to be created causing a memory violation. Applications that use the _repo_ package in the Helm SDK to parse an index file can suffer a Denial of Service when that input causes a panic that cannot be recovered from. The Helm Client will panic with an index file that causes a memory violation panic. Helm is not a long running service so the panic will not affect future uses of the Helm client. This issue has been patched in 3.10.3. SDK users can validate index files that are correctly formatted before passing them to the _repo_ functions.

The version of helm installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-23525 advisory.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4606-1 advisory.

  - ORAS is open source software which enables a way to push OCI Artifacts to OCI Conformant registries. ORAS     is both a CLI for initial testing and a Go Module. In ORAS from version 0.4.0 and before version 0.9.0,     there is a zip-slip vulnerability. The directory support feature allows the downloaded gzipped tarballs     to be automatically extracted to the user-specified directory where the tarball can have symbolic links     and hard links. A well-crafted tarball or tarballs allow malicious artifact providers linking, writing, or     overwriting specific files on the host filesystem outside of the user-specified directory unexpectedly     with the same permissions as the user who runs `oras pull`. Users of the affected versions are impacted if     they are `oras` CLI users who runs `oras pull`, or if they are Go programs, which invoke     `github.com/deislabs/oras/pkg/content.FileStore`. The problem has been fixed in version 0.9.0. For `oras`     CLI users, there is no workarounds other than pulling from a trusted artifact provider. For `oras` package     users, the workaround is to not use `github.com/deislabs/oras/pkg/content.FileStore`, and use other     content stores instead, or pull from a trusted artifact provider.

  - Helm is a tool for managing Charts, pre-configured Kubernetes resources. Versions prior to 3.10.3 are     subject to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, resulting in Denial of Service. Input to functions in the
    _strvals_ package can cause a stack overflow. In Go, a stack overflow cannot be recovered from.
    Applications that use functions from the _strvals_ package in the Helm SDK can have a Denial of Service     attack when they use this package and it panics. This issue has been patched in 3.10.3. SDK users can     validate strings supplied by users won't create large arrays causing significant memory usage before     passing them to the _strvals_ functions. (CVE-2022-23524)

  - Helm is a tool for managing Charts, pre-configured Kubernetes resources. Versions prior to 3.10.3 are     subject to NULL Pointer Dereference in the_chartutil_ package that can cause a segmentation violation. The
    _chartutil_ package contains a parser that loads a JSON Schema validation file. For example, the Helm     client when rendering a chart will validate its values with the schema file. The _chartutil_ package     parses the schema file and loads it into structures Go can work with. Some schema files can cause array     data structures to be created causing a memory violation.
