Affected Products:
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Web Scripting 15-SP2

An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

This update for nodejs14 fixes the following issues:

  • New upstream LTS version 14.15.4: * CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) bug in TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other exploits (bsc#1180553) * CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling allow two copies of a header field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html). (bsc#1180554)

  • New upstream LTS version 14.15.3: * deps:
    + upgrade npm to 6.14.9 + update acorn to v8.0.4 * http2: check write not scheduled in scope destructor * stream: fix regression on duplex end

  • New upstream LTS version 14.15.1: * deps: Denial of Service through DNS request (High). A Node.js application that allows an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a host of their choice could trigger a Denial of Service by getting the application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses (bsc#1178882, CVE-2020-8277)
