Fedora 31 : 1:libuv / 1:nodejs (2019-7443ebda4b)

high Nessus Plugin ID 131741

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Update to Node.js upstream release 12.13.1

https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v12.13.1/

Also fixes an issue where running `npm -g` was risky on RPM-installed systems. Fedora's packaged NPM will now install global content in /usr/local instead of /usr where it could conflict with RPM-provided versions.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected 1:libuv and / or 1:nodejs packages.
