Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for libuv.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the libuv-1.42.0-1.el9 build changelog.

 - Node.js before 16.4.1, 14.17.2, 12.22.2 is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read when uv__idna_toascii() is used to convert strings to ASCII. The pointer p is read and increased without checking whether it is beyond pe, with the latter holding a pointer to the end of the buffer. This can lead to information disclosures or crashes. This function can be triggered via uv_getaddrinfo(). (CVE-2021-22918)

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

Solution

Update the CentOS 9 Stream libuv package.
