Alpine: multiple nodejs packages: security update to 22.15.1-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427769

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - In Node.js, the `ReadFileUtf8` internal binding leaks memory due to a corrupted pointer in `uv_fs_s.file`:
 a UTF-16 path buffer is allocated but subsequently overwritten when the file descriptor is set. This
 results in an unrecoverable memory leak on every call. Repeated use can cause unbounded memory growth,
 leading to a denial of service. Impact: * This vulnerability affects APIs relying on `ReadFileUtf8` on
 Node.js release lines: v20 and v22. (CVE-2025-23165)

 - 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. (CVE-2025-23166)
