CVE-2025-23165 - log back

CVE-2025-23165 created at 18 May 2025 23:18:20
Severity	+ Low
Remote	+ Remote
Type	+ Denial of service
Description	+ Corrupted pointer in node::fs::ReadFileUtf8(const FunctionCallbackInfo<Value>& args) when args[0] is a string. + + 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.
