referenced in the RHSA-2017:2908 advisory.

    Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the
    JavaScript programming language.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-nodejs6-nodejs (6.11.3).
    (BZ#1476317)

    Security Fix(es):

    * It was found that Node.js was using a non-randomized seed when populating hash tables. An attacker, able
    to supply a large number of inputs, could send specially crafted entries to the Node.js application,
    maximizing hash collisions to trigger an excessive amount of CPU usage, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2017-11499)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
