CVE-2018-12115

In all versions of Node.js prior to 6.14.4, 8.11.4 and 10.9.0 when used with UCS-2 encoding (recognized by Node.js under the names 'ucs2', 'ucs-2', 'utf16le' and 'utf-16le'), Buffer#write() can be abused to write outside of the bounds of a single Buffer. Writes that start from the second-to-last position of a buffer cause a miscalculation of the maximum length of the input bytes to be written.

Openshift Container Platform 3.x versions are potentially vulnerable via the jenkins-slave-nodejs and jenkins-agent-nodejs containers. However a build would have to occur with a malicious jenkins pipeline, or nodejs source code supplied by an attacker, reducing the impact of this flaw to moderate. Both container images used nodejs delivered from Red Hat Software Collections.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

On Openshift Container Platform 3.x you can override the container image used on the Jenkins Slave by specifying the JENKINS_SLAVE_IMAGE environment variable in your jenkins deployment configuration. Ref:
