Description
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.
Affected products
- Node.js: 4.x from 4.0; 5.x from 5.0; 6.x from 6.0; 7.x from 7.0; 8.x from 8.0; 9.x from 9.0
