NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs-full-i18n package and not the nodejs-full-i18n package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A Node.js application that allows an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a host of their choice could trigger a Denial of Service in versions < 15.2.1, < 14.15.1, and < 12.19.1 by getting the application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses. This is fixed in 15.2.1, 14.15.1, and 12.19.1.
