There is no fixed version for Minimos:latest calico-3.29-node.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream calico-3.29-node package and not the calico-3.29-node package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

When coalescing adjacent text nodes in addText and fosterParent, appending to an existing TextNode's Data via string concatenation (n.Data += text) reallocated and copied the accumulated string on every token. Inputs containing many short text runs separated by ignored end tags (such as "a</x>") caused O(n^2) allocations and byte copies. Accumulate coalesced text in per-node byte slices during parsing and materialize Data strings once at the end of parse.
