Node.js reports :

Updates are now available for all active Node.js release lines. These include fixes for the vulnerabilities identified in the initial announcement. They also include upgrades of Node.js 6 and 8 to OpenSSL 1.0.2q, and upgrades of Node.js 10 and 11 to OpenSSL 1.1.0j.

We recommend that all Node.js users upgrade to a version listed below as soon as possible. Debugger port 5858 listens on any interface by default (CVE-2018-12120) All versions of Node.js 6 are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. When the debugger is enabled with node --debug or node debug, it listens to port 5858 on all interfaces by default.
This may allow remote computers to attach to the debug port and evaluate arbitrary JavaScript. The default interface is now localhost.
It has always been possible to start the debugger on a specific interface, such as node --debug=localhost. The debugger was removed in Node.js 8 and replaced with the inspector, so no versions from 8 and later are vulnerable. Denial of Service with large HTTP headers (CVE-2018-12121) All versions of 6 and later are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. By using a combination of many requests with maximum sized headers (almost 80 KB per connection), and carefully timed completion of the headers, it is possible to cause the HTTP server to abort from heap allocation failure. Attack potential is mitigated by the use of a load balancer or other proxy layer.

The total size of HTTP headers received by Node.js now must not exceed 8192 bytes. 'Slowloris' HTTP Denial of Service (CVE-2018-12122) All versions of Node.js 6 and later are vulnerable and the severity is LOW. An attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending headers very slowly keeping HTTP or HTTPS connections and associated resources alive for a long period of time. Attack potential is mitigated by the use of a load balancer or other proxy layer.

A timeout of 40 seconds now applies to servers receiving HTTP headers.
This value can be adjusted with server.headersTimeout. Where headers are not completely received within this period, the socket is destroyed on the next received chunk. In conjunction with server.setTimeout(), this aids in protecting against excessive resource retention and possible Denial of Service. Hostname spoofing in URL parser for JavaScript protocol (CVE-2018-12123) All versions of Node.js 6 and later are vulnerable and the severity is LOW. If a Node.js application is using url.parse() to determine the URL hostname, that hostname can be spoofed by using a mixed case 'javascript:' (e.g. 'javAscript:') protocol (other protocols are not affected). If security decisions are made about the URL based on the hostname, they may be incorrect. HTTP request splitting (CVE-2018-12116) Node.js 6 and 8 are vulnerable and the severity is MEDIUM. If Node.js can be convinced to use unsanitized user-provided Unicode data for the path option of an HTTP request, then data can be provided which will trigger a second, unexpected, and user-defined HTTP request to made to the same server. OpenSSL Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation (CVE-2018-0735) The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a timing side-channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing algorithm to recover the private key. OpenSSL Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation (CVE-2018-0734) The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a timing side-channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing algorithm to recover the private key. OpenSSL Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar multiplication (CVE-2018-5407) OpenSSL ECC scalar multiplication, used in e.g. ECDSA and ECDH, has been shown to be vulnerable to a microarchitecture timing side-channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to mount local timing attacks during ECDSA signature generation could recover the private key.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202003-48 (Node.js: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Node.js. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly write arbitrary files, cause a Denial       of Service condition or can conduct HTTP request splitting attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the K000137090 advisory.

  - Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0: Denial of Service with large     HTTP headers: By using a combination of many requests with maximum sized headers (almost 80 KB per     connection), and carefully timed completion of the headers, it is possible to cause the HTTP server to     abort from heap allocation failure. Attack potential is mitigated by the use of a load balancer or other     proxy layer. (CVE-2018-12121)

  - Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0: Slowloris HTTP Denial of     Service: An attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending headers very slowly keeping HTTP or     HTTPS connections and associated resources alive for a long period of time. (CVE-2018-12122)

  - Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0: Hostname spoofing in URL parser     for javascript protocol: If a Node.js application is using url.parse() to determine the URL hostname, that     hostname can be spoofed by using a mixed case javascript: (e.g. javAscript:) protocol (other protocols     are not affected). If security decisions are made about the URL based on the hostname, they may be     incorrect. (CVE-2018-12123)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4796-1 advisory.

  - The tls.checkServerIdentity function in Node.js 0.10.x before 0.10.47, 0.12.x before 0.12.16, 4.x before     4.6.0, and 6.x before 6.7.0 does not properly handle wildcards in name fields of X.509 certificates, which     allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate. (CVE-2016-7099)

  - The c-ares function `ares_parse_naptr_reply()`, which is used for parsing NAPTR responses, could be     triggered to read memory outside of the given input buffer if the passed in DNS response packet was     crafted in a particular way. (CVE-2017-1000381)

  - In all versions of Node.js prior to 6.14.4, 8.11.4 and 10.9.0 when used with UCS-2 encoding (recognized by     Node.js under the names `'ucs2'`, `'ucs-2'`, `'utf16le'` and `'utf-16le'`), `Buffer#write()` can be abused     to write outside of the bounds of a single `Buffer`. Writes that start from the second-to-last position of     a buffer cause a miscalculation of the maximum length of the input bytes to be written. (CVE-2018-12115)

  - Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0 and 8.14.0: HTTP request splitting: If Node.js can be     convinced to use unsanitized user-provided Unicode data for the `path` option of an HTTP request, then     data can be provided which will trigger a second, unexpected, and user-defined HTTP request to made to the     same server. (CVE-2018-12116)

  - Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0: Slowloris HTTP Denial of     Service: An attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending headers very slowly keeping HTTP or     HTTPS connections and associated resources alive for a long period of time. (CVE-2018-12122)

  - Node.js: All versions prior to Node.js 6.15.0, 8.14.0, 10.14.0 and 11.3.0: Hostname spoofing in URL parser     for javascript protocol: If a Node.js application is using url.parse() to determine the URL hostname, that     hostname can be spoofed by using a mixed case javascript: (e.g. javAscript:) protocol (other protocols     are not affected). If security decisions are made about the URL based on the hostname, they may be     incorrect. (CVE-2018-12123)

  - The Node.js inspector, in 6.x and later is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack which could be exploited     to perform remote code execution. An attack is possible from malicious websites open in a web browser on     the same computer, or another computer with network access to the computer running the Node.js process. A     malicious website could use a DNS rebinding attack to trick the web browser to bypass same-origin-policy     checks and to allow HTTP connections to localhost or to hosts on the local network. If a Node.js process     with the debug port active is running on localhost or on a host on the local network, the malicious     website could connect to it as a debugger, and get full code execution access. (CVE-2018-7160)

  - Calling Buffer.fill() or Buffer.alloc() with some parameters can lead to a hang which could result in a     Denial of Service. In order to address this vulnerability, the implementations of Buffer.alloc() and     Buffer.fill() were updated so that they zero fill instead of hanging in these cases. All versions of     Node.js 6.x (LTS Boron), 8.x (LTS Carbon), and 9.x are vulnerable. All versions of Node.js 10.x     (Current) are NOT vulnerable. (CVE-2018-7167)

  - In Node.js including 6.x before 6.17.0, 8.x before 8.15.1, 10.x before 10.15.2, and 11.x before 11.10.1,     an attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by establishing an HTTP or HTTPS connection in keep-alive     mode and by sending headers very slowly. This keeps the connection and associated resources alive for a     long period of time. Potential attacks are mitigated by the use of a load balancer or other proxy layer.
    This vulnerability is an extension of CVE-2018-12121, addressed in November and impacts all active Node.js     release lines including 6.x before 6.17.0, 8.x before 8.15.1, 10.x before 10.15.2, and 11.x before     11.10.1. (CVE-2019-5737)
