Alpine: nodejs: security update to 12.18.3-r0

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 405791

Description

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

- TLS session reuse can lead to host certificate verification bypass in node version < 12.18.0 and < 14.4.0.
(CVE-2020-8172)

- napi_get_value_string_*() allows various kinds of memory corruption in node < 10.21.0, 12.18.0, and <
14.4.0. (CVE-2020-8174)

- In nghttp2 before version 1.41.0, the overly large HTTP/2 SETTINGS frame payload causes denial of service.
The proof of concept attack involves a malicious client constructing a SETTINGS frame with a length of
14,400 bytes (2400 individual settings entries) over and over again. The attack causes the CPU to spike at
100%. nghttp2 v1.41.0 fixes this vulnerability. There is a workaround to this vulnerability. Implement
nghttp2_on_frame_recv_callback callback, and if received frame is SETTINGS frame and the number of
settings entries are large (e.g., > 32), then drop the connection. (CVE-2020-11080)
