Description Laura Pardo 2018-06-13 22:16:00 UTC 
A flaw was found in all versions of Node.js 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node server providing an http2 server to crash. This can be accomplished by interacting with the http2 server in a manner that triggers a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after they are no longer available.
