description
node-forge versions before 1.4.1 are affected when using its TLS connection implementation. An unauthenticated peer that can reach a TLS endpoint, or a server contacted by a TLS client, can trigger an uncaught exception that may terminate the hosting Node.js process during handshake processing.
mitigation
Upgrade the npm node-forge package to version 1.4.1 or later. Until upgrading, wrap calls to the TLS connection processing method in exception handling and close the affected socket on error.
fixed in 1.4.1
