Rocky Linux 9 : nodejs and nodejs-nodemon (RLSA-2022:6595)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 171017

Synopsis

The remote Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:6595 advisory.

- npm pack ignores root-level .gitignore and .npmignore file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` inside a workspace, as of v7.9.0 and v7.13.0 respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. Users should upgrade to the latest, patched version of npm v8.11.0, run: npm i -g npm@latest . Node.js versions v16.15.1, v17.19.1, and v18.3.0 include the patched v8.11.0 version of npm. (CVE-2022-29244)

- This affects the package ini before 1.3.6. If an attacker submits a malicious INI file to an application that parses it with ini.parse, they will pollute the prototype on the application. This can be exploited further depending on the context. (CVE-2020-7788)

- This affects the package glob-parent before 5.1.2. The enclosure regex used to check for strings ending in enclosure containing path separator. (CVE-2020-28469)

- ansi-regex is vulnerable to Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity (CVE-2021-3807)

- The normalize-url package before 4.5.1, 5.x before 5.3.1, and 6.x before 6.0.1 for Node.js has a ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) issue because it has exponential performance for data: URLs.
(CVE-2021-33502)

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 affected nodejs-nodemon package.
