Virtuozzo 7 : http-parser / http-parser-devel (VZLSA-2019-2258)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 144260

Synopsis

The remote Virtuozzo host is missing a security update.

Description

An update for http-parser is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The http-parser package provides a utility for parsing HTTP messages.
It parses both requests and responses. The parser is designed to be used in performance HTTP applications. It does not make any system calls or allocations, it does not buffer data, and it can be interrupted at any time. Depending on your architecture, it only requires about 40 bytes of data per message stream.

Security Fix(es) :

* nodejs: Denial of Service with large HTTP headers (CVE-2018-12121)

* nodejs: HTTP parser allowed for spaces inside Content-Length header values (CVE-2018-7159)

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.

Additional Changes :

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Note that Tenable Network Security has attempted to extract the preceding description block directly from the corresponding Red Hat security advisory. Virtuozzo provides no description for VZLSA advisories. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected http-parser / http-parser-devel package.
