There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 helm.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream helm package and not the helm package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Helm before versions 2.16.11 and 3.3.2 there is a bug in which the alias field on a Chart.yaml is not properly sanitized. This could lead to the injection of unwanted information into a chart. This issue has been patched in Helm 3.3.2 and 2.16.11. A possible workaround is to manually review the dependencies field of any untrusted chart, verifying that the alias field is either not used, or (if used) does not contain newlines or path characters.
