NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:16/nodejs-devel package and not the nodejs:16/nodejs-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The parse function in llhttp < 2.1.4 and < 6.0.6. ignores chunk extensions when parsing the body of chunked requests. This leads to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS) under certain conditions.
