NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:22/nodejs-nodemon package and not the nodejs:22/nodejs-nodemon package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The C++ method SignTraits::DeriveBits() may incorrectly call ThrowException() based on user-supplied inputs when executing in a background thread, crashing the Node.js process. Such cryptographic operations are commonly applied to untrusted inputs. Thus, this mechanism potentially allows an adversary to remotely crash a Node.js runtime.
