NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream npm package and not the npm package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos: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.
