critical Nessus Plugin ID 184480

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2020:0598 advisory.

- Improper Certificate Validation in Node.js 10, 12, and 13 causes the process to abort when sending a crafted X.509 certificate (CVE-2019-15604)

- HTTP request smuggling in Node.js 10, 12, and 13 causes malicious payload delivery when transfer-encoding is malformed (CVE-2019-15605)

- Including trailing white space in HTTP header values in Nodejs 10, 12, and 13 causes bypass of authorization based on header value comparisons (CVE-2019-15606)

Solution

Update the affected nodejs-nodemon and / or nodejs-packaging packages.
