    Description:
    The Node.js project has released
    a number of security updates to fix, among other vulnerabilities, a remote-code-execution bug affecting programs that use Brotli compression. And, in case any programmers who use compiled languages thought they could relax, the musl libc project has also announced a
    new vulnerability: an out-of-bounds
    write that could potentially lead to remote code execution, although that
    has not been demonstrated.
