Helm v3.11.1 is a security (patch) release. Users are strongly recommended to update to this release. The template function `getHostByName` can be used to disclose information. More details are available in the [CVE](https://github.com/helm/helm/security/advisories/GHSA-pwcw-6f5g-gxf8). This release introduces a breaking changes to Helm: * When using the `helm` client for the `template`, `install`, and `upgrade` commands there is a new flag. `--enable-dns` needs to be set for the `getHostByName` template function to attempt to lookup an IP address for a given hostname. If the flag is not set the template function will return an empty string and skip looping up an IP address for the host. * The Helm SDK has added the `EnableDNS` property to the install action, the upgrade action, and the `Engine`. This property must be set to true for the in order for the `getHostByName` template function to attempt to lookup an IP address. The default for both of these cases is false.
