How to fix?

Upgrade Wolfi kpt to version 1.0.0_beta31-r5 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in the /v2/_catalog endpoint in distribution/distribution, which accepts a parameter to control the maximum number of records returned (query string: n). This vulnerability allows a malicious user to submit an unreasonably large value for n, causing the allocation of a massive string array, possibly causing a denial of service through excessive use of memory.
