NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:20/nodejs package and not the nodejs:20/nodejs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid(). This allows the process to perform privileged operations despite presumably having dropped such privileges through a call to setuid(). This vulnerability affects all users using version greater or equal than Node.js 18.18.0, Node.js 20.4.0 and Node.js 21.
