A remote attacker can exploit memory management flaws in Node.js to exhaust system resources or crash the process, leading to a denial of service. Specifically, repeatedly invoking file system APIs with crafted input may cause unbounded memory growth, while malformed data in cryptographic operations may crash the runtime. |

A remote attacker can exploit improper error handling and memory management flaws in Node.js to crash the process or exhaust system resources, leading to a denial of service. Specifically, malformed input may trigger a crash in asynchronous cryptographic operations, while repeated use of file system APIs with crafted input may cause unbounded memory growth. |
