Upgrade Oracle:8 nodejs-packaging to version 0:17-3.module+el8.1.0+5392+4d6b561f or higher.

NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs-packaging package and not the nodejs-packaging package as distributed by Oracle.
See How to fix? for Oracle: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.
