CVE-2023-25165

Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes
applications.`getHostByName` is a Helm template function introduced in Helm v3.
The function is able to accept a hostname and return an IP address for that
hostname. To get the IP address the function performs a DNS lookup. The DNS
lookup happens when used with `helm install|upgrade|template` or when the Helm
SDK is used to render a chart. Information passed into the chart can be
disclosed to the DNS servers used to lookup the IP address. For example, a
malicious chart could inject `getHostByName` into a chart in order to disclose
values to a malicious DNS server. The issue has been fixed in Helm 3.11.1.
Prior
to using a chart with Helm verify the `getHostByName` function is not being
used
in a template to disclose any information you do not want passed to DNS
servers.
