The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:2955 advisory.

    Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the     JavaScript programming language.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-nodejs8-nodejs (8.16.1).

    Security Fix(es):

    * HTTP/2: large amount of data requests leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-9511)

    * HTTP/2: flood using PING frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9512)

    * HTTP/2: flood using PRIORITY frames results in excessive resource consumption (CVE-2019-9513)

    * HTTP/2: flood using HEADERS frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9514)

    * HTTP/2: flood using SETTINGS frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9515)

    * HTTP/2: 0-length headers lead to denial of service (CVE-2019-9516)

    * HTTP/2: request for large response leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-9517)

    * HTTP/2: flood using empty frames results in excessive resource consumption (CVE-2019-9518)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has nodejs packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The use of `Module._load()` can bypass the policy mechanism and require modules outside of the policy.json     definition for a given module. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental policy     mechanism in all active release lines: 16.x, 18.x and, 20.x. Please note that at the time this CVE was     issued, the policy is an experimental feature of Node.js. (CVE-2023-32002)

  - Minimist <=1.2.5 is vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via file index.js, function setKey() (lines 69-95).
    (CVE-2021-44906)

  - Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization     manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data     from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manipulate window size and stream priority to force     the server to queue the data in 1-byte chunks. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can     consume excess CPU, memory, or both. (CVE-2019-9511)

  - Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. The     attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of     responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is queued, this can consume excess CPU, memory, or both.
    (CVE-2019-9512)

  - Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service.
    The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a     way that causes substantial churn to the priority tree. This can consume excess CPU. (CVE-2019-9513)
