Comment 1 Pedro Sampaio 2020-01-06 22:08:37 UTC 
Created nodejs tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-all [bug 1788303]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 1788302]
Comment 2 Jason Shepherd 2020-01-08 03:32:49 UTC 
Red Hat Quay versions up to v3.2.0 are affected by the use of yarn to install client side dependencies. Red Hat Quay uses the npm package from RHEL 7 so that will be updated once a fix for RHEL 7 is available.
Comment 3 Jason Shepherd 2020-01-09 00:03:56 UTC 
The issue in Yarn was assigned CVE-2019-10773, Red Hat Quay is affected by that issue, not this one.
