Do we know if older releases are available?

The analysis seems to be ... inconsistent on this

* The NodeJS blog post does not mention old releases
* The Hacker News indicates versions from 8.x and up are all affected
https://thehackernews.com/2026/01/critical-nodejs-vulnerability-can-cause.html
* SUSE thinks versions 20 and below are not affected
https://www.suse.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-59466.html
* I can't find a RHEL security advisory yet, but el9/c9s ships NodeJS
16 as a normal 'ursine' RPM and maintained versions are only shipped as
modular RPMs in streams (thankfully EL10 does away with modularity)

RHEL/CentOS's nodejs 16 does seem to get CVE fixes backported in 2024,
after that branch has gone EOL -
