Synopsis
The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.Description
This update for nodejs14 fixes the following issues :- New upstream LTS version 14.15.4 :
- CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) bug in TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other exploits (bsc#1180553)
- CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling allow two copies of a header field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html).
(bsc#1180554)
- New upstream LTS version 14.15.3 :
- deps :
+ upgrade npm to 6.14.9
+ update acorn to v8.0.4
- http2: check write not scheduled in scope destructor
- stream: fix regression on duplex end
- New upstream LTS version 14.15.1 :
- deps: Denial of Service through DNS request (High). A Node.js application that allows an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a host of their choice could trigger a Denial of Service by getting the application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses (bsc#1178882, CVE-2020-8277)
