  "details" : [ "vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to 3.11.0, sandboxed code can call Buffer.alloc() with an arbitrary size to allocate memory directly on the host heap. Because Buffer.alloc is a synchronous C++ native call, vm2's timeout option cannot interrupt it. A single request can exhaust host memory and crash the process with a FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.11.0.", "A flaw was found in vm2 (before 3.11.0). Sandboxed code can call Buffer.alloc() with arbitrary size to allocate on the host heap synchronously; vm2 timeout cannot interrupt the native C++ call, allowing a single request to exhaust host memory and crash the process. Fixed in 3.11.0." ],
