TencentOS Server 3: nodejs:20 (TSSA-2024:0178)
medium Nessus Plugin ID 238966
Synopsis
The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0178 advisory.Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2024-22025:
A flaw was found in Node.js that allows a denial of service attack through resource exhaustion when using the fetch() function to retrieve content from an untrusted URL. The vulnerability stems from the fetch() function in Node.js that always decodes Brotli, making it possible for an attacker to cause resource exhaustion when fetching content from an untrusted URL. This flaw allows an attacker to control the URL passed into fetch() to exhaust memory, potentially leading to process termination, depending on the system configuration.
CVE-2024-25629:
A vulnerability was found in c-ares where the ares__read_line() is used to parse local configuration files such as /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, the HOSTALIASES file, and if using a c-ares version prior to 1.22.0, the /etc/hosts file. If the configuration files have an embedded NULL character as the first character in a new line, it can attempt to read memory before the start of the given buffer, which may result in a crash.
CVE-2024-27982:
An HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability was found in Node.js due to Content-Length Obfuscation in the HTTP server. Malformed headers, particularly if a space is inserted before a content-length header, can result in HTTP request smuggling. This flaw allows attackers to inject a second request within the body of the first and poison web caches, bypass web application firewalls, and execute Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
CVE-2024-27983:
A vulnerability was found in how Node.js implements the HTTP/2 protocol. There are insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single stream. This issue could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to send packets to vulnerable servers, which could use up compute or memory resources, causing a denial of service.
CVE-2024-28182:
A vulnerability was found in how nghttp2 implements the HTTP/2 protocol. There are insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single stream. This issue could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to send packets to vulnerable servers, which could use up compute or memory resources to cause a Denial of Service.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent 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.
