Process crash via inconsistent file-offset ABI
Published May 1, 2025 · Updated May 2, 2025
Out-of-bounds access in Debian's i386 nodejs packages through 20.19.0+dfsg-2 allows attackers to crash Node.js processes. The nodejs binary uses the 32-bit system-default off_t layout while dynamically linked libuv uses _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, so file-operation structures disagree and Node.js reads beyond the expected object boundary. The issue is confined to affected 32-bit Debian builds using shared libuv and has been reproduced as a segmentation fault during npm extraction and browserify processing.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=nodejs_0.10.0~dfsg1-1_i386.deb <=nodejs_20.19.0+dfsg-2_i386.deb
