Description thomasg 2017-10-08 01:59:37 UTC 
The nodejs 8.x series before 8.6 is vulnerable to a path traversal attack, as described in CVE-2017-14849.
Upstream has fixed the issue in the 8.6.0 release, which has been available for over a week.
Comment 1 Christopher Díaz Riveros (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2017-10-08 17:20:01 UTC 
@Maintainer could you please verify which versions in tree are vulnerable?

As stated in URL:

4.x NOT vulnerable (stable)
6.x NOT vulnerable (stable)
7.x unknown (non-stable)
8.x unknown (non-stable)
8.5.0 is vulnerable (non-stable)

Thank you,
