Overview

node is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime. An attacker could cause increased memory consumption and potential denial of service by abruptly closing the socket without sending a GOAWAY notification. Additionally, if an invalid header was detected by nghttp2, causing the connection to be terminated by the peer, the same leak is triggered.
