Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for nodejs / nodejs-nodemon.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2022:6595 advisory.

Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the JavaScript programming language.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: nodejs (16.16.0), nodejs-nodemon (2.0.19). (BZ#2124230, BZ#2124233)

Security Fix(es):

* nodejs-ini: Prototype pollution via malicious INI file (CVE-2020-7788)

* nodejs-glob-parent: Regular expression denial of service (CVE-2020-28469)

* nodejs-ansi-regex: Regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) matching ANSI escape codes (CVE-2021-3807)

* normalize-url: ReDoS for data URLs (CVE-2021-33502)

* nodejs: npm pack ignores root-level .gitignore and .npmignore file exclusion directives when run in a workspace (CVE-2022-29244)

* nodejs: DNS rebinding in --inspect via invalid IP addresses (CVE-2022-32212)

* nodejs: HTTP request smuggling due to flawed parsing of Transfer-Encoding (CVE-2022-32213)

* nodejs: HTTP request smuggling due to improper delimiting of header fields (CVE-2022-32214)

* nodejs: HTTP request smuggling due to incorrect parsing of multi-line Transfer-Encoding (CVE-2022-32215)

* got: missing verification of requested URLs allows redirects to UNIX sockets (CVE-2022-33987)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* nodejs:16/nodejs: Rebase to the latest Nodejs 16 release [rhel-9] (BZ#2121019)

* nodejs: Specify --with-default-icu-data-dir when using bootstrap build (BZ#2124299)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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