Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Trivy versions prior to 0.71.0
Description A security scanner issue occurs when processing Helm chart archives (.tgz). The custom tar unpacker uses the io.ReadAll(tr) function without a size limit. An attacker can provide a specially crafted compressed archive that expands to a massive size upon decompression, leading to an Out-of-Memory (OOM) condition where the operating system terminates the process.
Recommendations Update to version 0.71.0.
