NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:10/nodejs-packaging package and not the nodejs:10/nodejs-packaging package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The implementation of realpath in libuv < 10.22.1, < 12.18.4, and < 14.9.0 used within Node.js incorrectly determined the buffer size which can result in a buffer overflow if the resolved path is longer than 256 bytes.
