CVE-2020-8252  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-120  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.2 nodejs12 to version 12.18.4-4.6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs12 package and not the nodejs12 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

The implementation of realpath in libuv < 10.22.1, < 12.18.4, and < 14.9.0 used within Node.js incorrectly determined the buffer size which can result in a buffer overflow if the resolved path is longer than 256 bytes.
