CVEID:CVE-2021-22940
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-22930 related to a use-after-free on close http2 on stream canceling. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory to change process behavior.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/207520 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-22931
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could provide weaker than expected security, caused by missing input validation on hostnames returned by DNS servers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause output of wrong hostnames leading to Domain Hijacking and and injection vulnerabilities in applications using the library.
CVSS Base score: 5
