RHEL 8 : nodejs:12 (RHSA-2020:2852)

high Nessus Plugin ID 138384

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for nodejs:12.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2852 advisory.

- nodejs-minimist: prototype pollution allows adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a constructor or __proto__ payload (CVE-2020-7598)

- nodejs: TLS session reuse can lead to hostname verification bypass (CVE-2020-8172)

- nodejs: memory corruption in napi_get_value_string_* functions (CVE-2020-8174)

- nghttp2: overly large SETTINGS frames can lead to DoS (CVE-2020-11080)

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

Solution

Update the RHEL nodejs:12 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:2852.
