- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : nodejs Version : 10.24.0~dfsg-1~deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2021-22930 CVE-2021-22939 CVE-2021-22940 CVE-2022-21824 CVE-2022-32212 Debian Bug : 1004177

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Node.js, a JavaScript runtime environment, which could result in memory corruption, invalid certificate validation, prototype pollution or command injection.

CVE-2021-22930, CVE-2021-22940

Use after free attack where an attacker might be able to exploit the memory corruption, to change process behavior.

CVE-2021-22939

If the Node.js https API was used incorrectly and undefined was in passed for the rejectUnauthorized parameter, no error was returned and connections to servers with an expired certificate would have been accepted.

CVE-2022-21824

Due to the formatting logic of the console.table() function it was not safe to allow user controlled input to be passed to the properties parameter while simultaneously passing a plain object with at least one property as the first parameter, which could be
__proto__.

CVE-2022-32212

OS Command Injection vulnerability due to an insufficient IsAllowedHost check that can easily be bypassed because IsIPAddress does not properly check if an IP address is invalid before making DBS requests allowing rebinding attacks.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 10.24.0~dfsg-1~deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your nodejs packages.
