Description
===========

- CVE-2021-22918 (information disclosure)

libuv before version 1.14.1, as bundled by Node.js before versions

the libuv's uv__idna_toascii() function which is used to convert
strings to ASCII. This is called by Node's dns module's lookup()
function and can lead to information disclosures or crashes.

A security issue has been found in Node.js before versions 16.4.1,
14.17.2 and 12.22.2. There is a vulnerability in the hosted-git-info
npm module which may be vulnerable to denial of service attacks.

- CVE-2021-27290 (denial of service)

A security issue has been found in Node.js before versions 16.4.1,
14.17.2 and 12.22.2. There is a vulnerability in the ssri npm module
which may be vulnerable to denial of service attacks.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could disclose information by supplying crafted
domain names, or cause denial of service through high resource usage
with crafted Git repository URLs or Subresource Integrity (SRI) hashes.
