NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:20/nodejs-full-i18n package and not the nodejs:20/nodejs-full-i18n package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL: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.
