How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 kubernetes-common to version 1.17.13-4.21.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kubernetes-common package and not the kubernetes-common package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Helm before versions 2.16.11 and 3.3.2, a Helm plugin can contain duplicates of the same entry, with the last one always used. If a plugin is compromised, this lowers the level of access that an attacker needs to modify a plugin's install hooks, causing a local execution attack. To perform this attack, an attacker must have write access to the git repository or plugin archive (.tgz) while being downloaded (which can occur during a MITM attack on a non-SSL connection). This issue has been patched in Helm 2.16.11 and Helm 3.3.2. As a possible workaround make sure to install plugins using a secure connection protocol like SSL.
