Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-237 advisory.

- The llhttp parser in the http module in Node v20.2.0 does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). The CR character (without LF) is sufficient to delimit HTTP header fields in the llhttp parser. According to RFC7230 section 3, only the CRLF sequence should delimit each header-field. This impacts all Node.js active versions: v16, v18, and, v20 (CVE-2023-30589)

- ## 2023-06-20, Version 18.16.1 'Hydrogen' (LTS), @RafaelGSS This is a security release. ### Notable Changes The following CVEs are fixed in this release: * [CVE-2023-30581](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-30581): `mainModule.__proto__` Bypass Experimental Policy Mechanism (High) * [CVE-2023-30585](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-30585): Privilege escalation via Malicious Registry Key manipulation during Node.js installer repair process (Medium) * [CVE-2023-30588](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-30588): Process interuption due to invalid Public Key information in x509 certificates (Medium) * [CVE-2023-30589](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-30589): HTTP Request Smuggling via Empty headers separated by CR (Medium) * [CVE-2023-30590](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-30590): DiffieHellman does not generate keys after setting a private key (Medium) * OpenSSL Security Releases * [OpenSSL security advisory 28th March](https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230328.txt). * [OpenSSL security advisory 20th April](https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230420.txt). * [OpenSSL security advisory 30th May](https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20230530.txt) * c-ares vulnerabilities: * [GHSA-9g78-jv2r-p7vc](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-9g78-jv2r-p7vc) * [GHSA-8r8p-23f3-64c2](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-8r8p-23f3-64c2) * [GHSA-54xr-f67r-4pc4](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-54xr-f67r-4pc4) * [GHSA-x6mf-cxr9-8q6v](https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/security/advisories/GHSA-x6mf-cxr9-8q6v) More detailed information on each of the vulnerabilities can be found in [June 2023 Security Releases](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/june-2023-security-releases/) blog post.
