"The version of packer installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-21614 advisory.

  - go-git is a highly extensible git implementation library written in pure Go. A denial of service (DoS)
    vulnerability was discovered in go-git versions prior to v5.13. This vulnerability allows an attacker to
    perform denial of service attacks by providing specially crafted responses from a Git server which
    triggers resource exhaustion in go-git clients. Users running versions of go-git from v4 and above are
    recommended to upgrade to v5.13 in order to mitigate this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-21614)
