Comment 3 Riccardo Schirone 2019-03-25 12:35:38 UTC

rh-nodejs8-nodejs does not install modules that export the vulnerable functions, however they may be used internally.

Comment 6 Jason Shepherd 2019-08-08 05:50:08 UTC

This vulnerability is out of security support scope for the following product:

 * Red Hat Mobile Application Platform

 Please refer to https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhmap for more details

Comment 8 Sam Fowler 2020-06-22 06:18:29 UTC

In OpenShift Container Platform, only the kibana package includes a vulnerable version, other containers include a version higher than 4.17.11 so are not affected.
