Summary

Helm is a package manager for Charts for Kubernetes. A JSON Schema file within a chart can be crafted with a deeply nested chain of references, leading to parser recursion that can exceed the stack size limit and trigger a Stack Overflow. This issue affects helm.sh/helm/v3 package versions prior to 3.17.3. This has the same fix as CVE-2025-32386.
