How to fix?

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

NVD Description

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

All versions of Node.js 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node server providing an http2 server to crash. This can be accomplished by interacting with the http2 server in a manner that triggers a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after they are no longer available. This has been addressed by updating the http2 implementation.
