NodeJS update

Distro Discussion & Help

Hi,

I run FreePBX 17.0.21 on Debian 12.

Debian reports security problems with nodejs ([SECURITY] [DSA 5991-1] nodejs security update).
Debian has provided updated packages.
On FreePBX the packages are set on hold.

Whats the best way to apply the security fixes for libnode-dev, libnode108 and nodejs packages?

Is it save to unhold the packages or will this break FreePBX?

hold on testing.
Get:157 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main amd64 nodejs amd64 18.20.4+dfsg-1~deb12u1 [319 kB]

Were you able to upgrade all 3 and everything still working as expected?

I seen the commands, however they need to be taken off hold first to be able to update them.
