Package : nodejs Version : 12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u6 CVE ID : CVE-2025-23085 Debian Bug : 1094134

Node.js a JavaScript runtime environment was affected by a vulnerability.

A memory leak could occur when a remote peer abruptly closes the socket without sending a GOAWAY notification. Additionally, if an invalid header was detected by nghttp2, causing the connection to be terminated by the peer, the same leak was triggered. This flaw could lead to increased memory consumption and potential denial of service under certain conditions.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 12.22.12~dfsg-1~deb11u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your nodejs packages.

For the detailed security status of nodejs please refer to its security tracker page at:
