NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream helm package and not the helm package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Helm through 4.2.3, fixed in commit ba6c9a2, contains a denial of service vulnerability in the Files.Lines template helper in pkg/engine/files.go that allows attackers to trigger an index out of range panic by including zero-length byte slices in chart files. Attackers can include empty files in Helm charts to cause deterministic render failures across template, install, upgrade, lint, and SDK Engine.Render operations.
