 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4152-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Bastien Roucaris May 02, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : nodejs Version : 12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u7 CVE ID : CVE-2025-47153 Debian Bug : 922075 1076350

 Node.js a popular server side javascript engine was affected by a vulnerability on 32bits architecture.

 Build processes for libuv and Node.js for 32-bit systems, have an inconsistent off_t size (e.g., building on i386 Debian always uses
 _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 for the libuv dynamic library, but uses the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS global system default of 32 for nodejs), leading to out-of-bounds access.

 Following reverse dependencies were also rebuilt in order to fix the vulnerability:
 node-expat node-iconv node-leveldown node-modern-syslog node-nodedbi node-opencv node-re2 node-sqlite3 node-sass node-srs node-websocket node-zipfile r-cran-v8

 For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u7.

 We recommend that you upgrade your nodejs packages.

 For the detailed security status of nodejs please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/nodejs
