Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - ced detects character encoding using Google’s compact_enc_det library. In ced v0.1.0, passing data types
 other than `Buffer` causes the Node.js process to crash. The problem has been patched in ced v1.0.0. As a
