{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-23166","details":"The C++ method SignTraits::DeriveBits() may incorrectly call ThrowException() based on user-supplied inputs when executing in a background thread, crashing the Node.js process. Such cryptographic operations are commonly applied to untrusted inputs. Thus, this mechanism potentially allows an adversary to remotely crash a Node.js runtime.","modified":"2026-04-22T15:39:01.018041Z","published":"2025-05-19T02:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-23166"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-23166"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-23166"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/may-2025-security-releases#improper-error-handling-in-async-cryptographic-operations-crashes-process-cve-2025-23166---high"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/6c57465920cf1b981a63031e71b1e4a73bf9beaa"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@18.19.1+dfsg-6ubuntu5?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["18.13.0+dfsg1-1ubuntu2","18.19.1+dfsg-2ubuntu4","18.19.1+dfsg-6ubuntu1","18.19.1+dfsg-6ubuntu2","18.19.1+dfsg-6ubuntu5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"18.19.1+dfsg-6ubuntu5","binary_name":"libnode109"},{"binary_name":"nodejs","binary_version":"18.19.1+dfsg-6ubuntu5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-23166.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
