I haven't checked the code but judging from the timestamps mentioned in the upstream bug, nodejs-14.2.0 is vulnerable to this as well - meaning this means we will have vulnerable version in the tree until the dev-ruby/execjs dependency chain on ppc has been given an alternative JavaScript runtime. Of course with said version having lost all keywords except ppc and not building on on that architecture, the risk is limited.

I'm going to shift the blocker to See Also just because some tooling will ignore bugs with a blocker, but it is technically one for the bug, so I'll move it backc later.

Are we ready to start stabling given the minimal changes?
Comment 4 Marek Szuba archtester gentoo-dev 2020-11-16 20:49:18 UTC
Fine by me. 14.15.1 could probably be fast-tracked given we have only just stabilised 14.15.0, in case of 12.19.1 it wouldn't hurt to build-test it on each arch because we did not get to stabilise 12.19.0 in time.

Thanks! Yeah, we always "test properly" unless there's something really serious (like some exploited-in-the-wild browser vulnerability where minimal stuff changed).

Lagging ppc64 stabilisation no longer needed due to new vulnerabilities having been announced which affect the the versions at hand.
Comment 11 NATTkA bot gentoo-dev 2021-01-04 21:44:56 UTC
Resetting sanity check; package list is empty or all packages are done.

Thank you! For this bug, cleanup doesn't seem to be done for the 14.15 branch though.
