How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 nodejs8-devel to version 8.11.3-3.5.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs8-devel package and not the nodejs8-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

Calling Buffer.fill() or Buffer.alloc() with some parameters can lead to a hang which could result in a Denial of Service. In order to address this vulnerability, the implementations of Buffer.alloc() and Buffer.fill() were updated so that they zero fill instead of hanging in these cases. All versions of Node.js 6.x (LTS "Boron"), 8.x (LTS "Carbon"), and 9.x are vulnerable. All versions of Node.js 10.x (Current) are NOT vulnerable.
