NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs20-devel package and not the nodejs20-devel package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The C++ method SignTraits::DeriveBits() may incorrectly call ThrowException() based on user-supplied inputs when executing in a background thread, crashing the Node.js process. Such cryptographic operations are commonly applied to untrusted inputs. Thus, this mechanism potentially allows an adversary to remotely crash a Node.js runtime.
