NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs18-devel package and not the nodejs18-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability in Node.js has been identified, allowing for a Denial of Service (DoS) attack through resource exhaustion when using the fetch() function to retrieve content from an untrusted URL. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the fetch() function in Node.js always decodes Brotli, making it possible for an attacker to cause resource exhaustion when fetching content from an untrusted URL. An attacker controlling the URL passed into fetch() can exploit this vulnerability to exhaust memory, potentially leading to process termination, depending on the system configuration.
