We should really be bumping and pushing an errata if RHEL picked up
the EPEL package and pulled it into core RHEL anyway because if people
had been previously using it in EPEL for other reasons (and 100s of
enterprises do sync EPEL) they would already be in a situation where
they're running an unsupported version, there is no other fix to that
and Red Hat engineering needs to improve their processes in this
regard because there is a number of these issues each el7 cycle.

Can you not just rebuild nodejs, which will rebuild the bundled
http-parser, against the new 1.0.2 build in 7.4?
