Alpine: multiple nodejs packages: security update to 8.9.2-r0 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400788

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure used in exponentiation with
1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a
result of this defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against
DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the work necessary to deduce information about a
private key may be performed offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server would have to share the DH1024
private key among multiple clients, which is no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701. This only affects
processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions like Intel Haswell (4th generation). Note: The
impact from this issue is similar to CVE-2017-3736, CVE-2017-3732 and CVE-2015-3193. OpenSSL version
1.0.2-1.0.2m and 1.1.0-1.1.0g are affected. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2n. Due to the low severity of this issue
we are not issuing a new release of OpenSSL 1.1.0 at this time. The fix will be included in OpenSSL 1.1.0h
when it becomes available. The fix is also available in commit e502cc86d in the OpenSSL git repository.
(CVE-2017-3738)

- Node.js was affected by OpenSSL vulnerability CVE-2017-3737 in regards to the use of SSL_read() due to TLS
handshake failure. The result was that an active network attacker could send application data to Node.js
using the TLS or HTTP2 modules in a way that bypassed TLS authentication and encryption. (CVE-2017-15896)
