  - A flaw was found in c-ares library, where a missing input validation check of host names returned by DNS     (Domain Name Servers) can lead to output of wrong hostnames which might potentially lead to Domain     Hijacking. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity as well as     system availability. (CVE-2021-3672)

  - Node.js before 16.6.0, 14.17.4, and 12.22.4 is vulnerable to a use after free attack where an attacker     might be able to exploit the memory corruption, to change process behavior. (CVE-2021-22930)

  - Node.js before 16.6.1, 14.17.5, and 12.22.5 is vulnerable to a use after free attack where an attacker     might be able to exploit the memory corruption, to change process behavior. (CVE-2021-22940)

  - A flaw was found in the c-ares package. The ares_set_sortlist is missing checks about the validity of the     input string, which allows a possible arbitrary length stack overflow. This issue may cause a denial of     service or a limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2022-4904)
