Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:
- A flaw in Node.js TLS hostname verification allows a certificate with only a DNS SAN to authenticate an IP
endpoint when the client connects using a non-canonical IPv4 spelling, such as `0177.0.0.1`, `0x7f.0.0.1`,
`2130706433` or `127.1`. `tls.checkServerIdentity()` did not classify these hosts as IP addresses, but
normalized them to their canonical form and matched the result against the certificate DNS names. A
certificate containing `DNS:127.0.0.1` and no `IP Address:127.0.0.1` SAN was therefore accepted, while the
same certificate is correctly rejected for `127.0.0.1`. Exploitation requires a certificate with a numeric
DNS SAN issued by a CA trusted by the client, and a platform resolver that accepts these spellings, such
as glibc. This vulnerability affects Node.js **26.x**, **24.x**, and **22.x**. (CVE-2026-106072)
Solution
Update the nodejs-22 library and its related packages to version 22.23.4-r0 or later.
