    ## 2023-09-28, Version 20.8.0 (Current), @ruyadorno

    ### Notable Changes

    #### Stream performance improvements

    Performance improvements to writable and readable streams, improving the creation and destruction by 15%     and reducing the memory overhead each stream takes in Node.js

    Contributed by Benjamin Gruenbaum in [#49745](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/49745) and Raz Luvaton     in [#49834](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/49834).

    Performance improvements for readable webstream, improving readable stream async iterator consumption by     140% and improving readable stream `pipeTo` consumption by 60%

    Contributed by Raz Luvaton in [#49662](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/49662) and     [#49690](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/49690).

    #### Rework of memory management in `vm` APIs with the `importModuleDynamically` option

    This rework addressed a series of long-standing memory leaks and use-after-free issues in the following     APIs that support `importModuleDynamically`:

    * `vm.Script`
    * `vm.compileFunction`
    * `vm.SyntheticModule`
    * `vm.SourceTextModule`

    This should enable affected users (in particular Jest users) to upgrade from older versions of Node.js.

    Contributed by Joyee Cheung in [#48510](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/48510).

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-2023:0256 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

      CVE-2023-38552:
      When the Node.js policy feature checks the integrity of a resource against a trusted manifest, the     application can intercept the operation and return a forged checksum to the node's policy implementation,     thus effectively disabling the integrity check.
      Impacts:
      This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy mechanism in all active release     lines: 18.x and, 20.x.
      Please note that at the time this CVE was issued, the policy mechanism is an experimental feature of     Node.js.

      CVE-2023-39333:
      Maliciously crafted export names in an imported WebAssembly module can inject JavaScript code. The     injected code may be able to access data and functions that the WebAssembly module itself does not have     access to, similar to as if the WebAssembly module was a JavaScript module.

      CVE-2023-44487:
      The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request     cancellation can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023.

      CVE-2023-45143:
      Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client written from scratch for Node.js. Prior to version 5.26.2, Undici already     cleared Authorization headers on cross-origin redirects, but did not clear Cookie headers. By design,     cookie headers are forbidden request headers, disallowing them to be set in RequestInit.headers in browser     environments. Since undici handles headers more liberally than the spec, there was a disconnect from the     assumptions the spec made, and undici's implementation of fetch. As such this may lead to accidental     leakage of cookie to a third-party site or a malicious attacker who can control the redirection target     (ie. an open redirector) to leak the cookie to the third party site. This was patched in version 5.26.2.
    There are no known workarounds.
