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 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.
