string hashing mechanism allows for performance degradation via a crafted
request (bsc#1260494).
o CVE-2026-21716: incomplete fix for CVE-2024-36137 allows promise-based
FileHandle methods to be used to modify file permissions and ownership on
already-open file descriptors (bsc#1260462).
o CVE-2026-21715: flaw in the Permission Model filesystem enforcement allows
for file existence disclosure and filesystem path enumeration via
fs.realpathSync.native() (bsc#1260482).
o CVE-2026-21714: memory leak in Node.js HTTP/2 server allows for resource
exhaustion via WINDOW_UPDATE frames sent on stream 0 (bsc#1260480).
o CVE-2026-21713: timing side-channel due to flaw in Node.js HMAC
verification allows for discovery of HMAC values and potential MAC forgery
(bsc#1260463).
o CVE-2026-21710: uncaught TypeError when handling HTTP requests allows for a
process crash via requests with a header named __proto__ when the
application accesses req.headersDistinct (bsc#1260455).
