The OpenSSL 1.1.1g issue does not affect Node.js because the affected function is not called by Node.js or its dependencies; no Node.js security releases are required.
These are machine-extracted claims. Quotations show the recorded source text; verify the original announcement before acting.
Security context
It only affects a function which is not called by Node.js (or its dependencies), and as such, does not affect Node.js. No Node.js security releases are required.
Node.js released security updates for supported release lines addressing TLS session reuse, HTTP/2 settings-frame denial of service, N-API string-buffer memory corruption, and an ICU issue. Node.js 10.21.0, 12.18.0, and 14.4.0 are the listed releases.
