RHEL 10 : nodejs26 (RHSA-2026:98619)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 379077

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:98619 advisory.

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Security Fix(es):

* nodejs: Node.js: Permission Model bypass via `process.report.writeReport()` path misvalidation (CVE-2026-48617)

* nodejs: Node.js HTTP Agent: Information disclosure due to premature response acceptance (CVE-2026-48931)

* nodejs: Node.js: Denial of Service via unlimited HTTP/2 ORIGIN frames (CVE-2026-48619)

* nodejs: Node.js: Silent authority rebinding due to embedded-nul hostnames in TLS handling (CVE-2026-48930)

* nodejs: Node.js: Unauthorized file metadata modification (CVE-2026-48935)

* nodejs: Node.js WebCrypto: Denial of Service via large input to subtle.encrypt() (CVE-2026-48933)

* nodejs: Node.js: Certification validation bypass in TLS host verification (CVE-2026-48934)

* Node.js: Node.js: Trust-policy bypass due to hostname matching inconsistency (CVE-2026-48928)

* nodejs: Node.js: Information disclosure of proxy credentials via proxy tunnel error handling (CVE-2026-48615)

* nodejs: Node.js: Local server can be started without network permission via Permission API flaw (CVE-2026-48936)

* nodejs: Node.js: Authentication bypass due to TLS hostname handling and unicode dot separator mismatch (CVE-2026-48618)

* undici: undici: Information disclosure and Denial of Service via malformed Cache-Control directives (CVE-2026-13697)

* nodejs: Node.js: Unauthorized filesystem access due to Permission Model enforcement flaw (CVE-2026-58043)

* nodejs: HTTPS Agent TLS session reuse skips hostname verification (CVE-2026-58040)

* nodejs: Node.js: Permission Model flaw allows trace logs to bypass filesystem write restrictions (CVE-2026-56847)

* nodejs: Node.js: mTLS client identities can be reused due to HTTPS Agent connection flaw (CVE-2026-56850)

* nodejs: Information disclosure due to improper permission enforcement (CVE-2026-58039)

* nodejs: Node.js: Request smuggling via HTTP client header truncation (CVE-2026-58044)

* nodejs: Node.js: Denial of Service via DNS responses with excessive A records (CVE-2026-58042)

* nodejs: Node.js: Denial of Service vulnerability (CVE-2026-58045)

* nodejs: Node.js node:sqlite: Unintended data modification due to stale statement iterator (CVE-2026-58041)

* nodejs: Node.js: Heap-use-after-free in HTTP/2 handling can lead to denial of service (CVE-2026-56848)

* brace-expansion: brace-expansion: Denial of Service via uncontrolled recursion in nested brace patterns (CVE-2026-102278)

* brace-expansion: brace-expansion: Denial of Service via stack exhaustion from crafted brace patterns (CVE-2026-102276)

* undici: undici: Denial of Service via unhandled stream error on excessive content encodings (CVE-2026-109869)

* undici: undici: Denial of Service via TLS renegotiation with mismatched certificate (CVE-2026-87018)

* undici: undici: Certificate validation bypass via dropped TLS options in Agent (CVE-2026-109383)

* undici: undici: Cache poisoning and information disclosure via improper cross-origin redirect caching (CVE-2026-109829)

* nodejs: nodejs: TLS certificate hostname bypass via fullwidth-digit IP hostnames (CVE-2026-105483)

* nodejs: nodejs: TLS certificate hostname bypass via non-canonical IP hostnames (CVE-2026-106069)

* nodejs: nodejs: dns.resolve truncates hostnames containing a NUL character (CVE-2026-105482)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

* nodejs26: Rebase to the latest Node.js 26 release [rhel-10.3.z] (JIRA:RHEL-295502)
