    Package        : nodejs     Version        : 10.24.0~dfsg-1~deb10u3     CVE ID         : CVE-2022-43548 CVE-2023-23920     Debian Bug     : 1023518 1031834

    Vulnerabilities have been found in Node.js, which could result in DNS     rebinding or arbitrary code execution.

    CVE-2022-43548

        The Node.js rebinding protector for `--inspect` still allows invalid         IP addresses, specifically in octal format, which browsers such as         Firefox attempt to resolve via DNS.  When combined with an active         `--inspect` session, such as when using VSCode, an attacker can         perform DNS rebinding and execute arbitrary code.

    CVE-2023-23920

        Ben Noordhuis reported that Node.js would search and potentially         load ICU data when running with elevated privileges.  Node.js now         builds with `ICU_NO_USER_DATA_OVERRIDE` to avoid this.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     10.24.0~dfsg-1~deb10u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nodejs packages.
