    (CVE-2016-1000232)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2912 advisory.

    Tough-Cookie is a Node.js module that offers RFC6265 Cookies and Cookie Jar.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-nodejs4-nodejs-tough-cookie     (2.3.3). (BZ#1497695)

    Security Fix(es):

    * Regular expression denial of service flaws were found in Tough-Cookie. An attacker able to make an     application using Touch-Cookie to parse a sufficiently large HTTP request Cookie header could cause the     application to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2016-1000232, CVE-2017-15010)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2016:2101 advisory.

    Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the company's cloud computing     Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private     cloud deployments.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A regular expression denial of service flaw was found in Tough-Cookie. An     attacker able to make an application using Touch-Cookie to parse a     sufficiently large HTTP request Cookie header could cause the application     to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2016-1000232)

    * It was found that the reason argument in ServerResponse#writeHead() was     not properly validated. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to     conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially-crafted HTTP     request. (CVE-2016-5325)
