    CVE ID         : CVE-2023-46809 CVE-2024-21892 CVE-2024-22019
                     CVE-2024-22020 CVE-2024-22025 CVE-2024-27982
                     CVE-2024-27983 CVE-2025-47153

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Node.js, which could result
    in denial of service, HTTP request smuggling, privilege escalation, a
    side channel attack against PKCS#1 1.5 or a bypass of network import
    restrictions.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
    in version 18.20.4+dfsg-1~deb12u1.

    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

    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
