high Nessus Plugin ID 138384

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for nodejs:12.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:2852 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: nodejs (12.18.2).

 Security Fix(es):

 * nghttp2: overly large SETTINGS frames can lead to DoS (CVE-2020-11080)

 * nodejs-minimist: prototype pollution allows adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a constructor or __proto__ payload (CVE-2020-7598)

 * nodejs: TLS session reuse can lead to hostname verification bypass (CVE-2020-8172)

 * nodejs: memory corruption in napi_get_value_string_* functions (CVE-2020-8174)

 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise 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.

Solution

Update the RHEL nodejs:12 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2020:2852.
