Node.js and OpenSSL vulnerability

From mlettau, Oct 2024, It appears that the EPIC system includes OpenSSL. However, when I search through the Firmware 4 release notes I don’t see it. I included nodered because the OpenCVE database includes CVE-2023-46809. Can someone elaborate on how OpenSSL is included in the firmware and whether the cited vulnerability is an issue for the EPIC system?

That particular CVE was fixed in Node.js in version 20.11.1. It’s part of a large collection of potential issues collectively called the Marvin Attack; the OpenSSL specific portion was fixed in version 3.0.8. As of GRV-EPIC firmware version 4.0.1 we’re shipping OpenSSL version 3.0.14.
