Comment 10 Jason Shepherd 2018-01-12 06:49:17 UTC

The vulnerable function call, mime.lookup, is not used in any RHMAP services. Marking it as not affected.

Comment 12 Jason Shepherd 2021-05-07 02:47:55 UTC

Statement:

Red Hat Virtualization 4.2 EUS contained a vulnerable version of nodejs-mime in the ovirt-engine-dashboard package. This package has been removed in Red Hat Virtualization 4.2.

Red Hat Quay includes mime as a dependency of Karma. It's only used at build time, not runtime so this vulnerability has a low impact of Red Hat Quay.
