CVEID:   CVE-2021-22883
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a file descriptor leak. By making multiple attempts to connect with an 'unknownProtocol', an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to lead to an excessive memory usage and cause the system to run out of memory.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/197190 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2020-1971
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference. If the GENERAL_NAME_cmp function contain an EDIPARTYNAME, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
