A ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) flaw was found in the tough-cookie module before 2.3.3 for Node.js. An attacker that is able to make an HTTP request using a specially crafted cookie may cause the application to consume an excessive amount of CPU.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) flaw was found in the tough-cookie module before 2.3.3 for     Node.js. An attacker that is able to make an HTTP request using a specially crafted cookie may cause the     application to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2017-15010)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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.
