    Package        : nodejs     Version        : 10.24.0~dfsg-1~deb10u4     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-30590 CVE-2023-46809 CVE-2024-22025     Debian Bug     : 1039990 1064055

    Vulnerabilities have been found in Node.js, which could lead to denial     of service or information disclosure.

    CVE-2023-30590

        Ben Smyth reported an inconsistency between implementation and         documented design of the The generateKeys() API function, which         only generates missing (or outdated) keys, that is, it only         generates a private key if none has been set yet.
        The documented behavior has been updated to reflect the current         implementation.

    CVE-2023-46809

        It was discovered that Node.js was vulnerable to the Marvin Attack,         allowing a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding         error handling.  An attacker could remotely exploit the         vulnerability to decrypt captured RSA ciphertexts or forge         signatures, especially in scenarios involving API endpoints         processing Json Web Encryption messages.
        The fix disables RSA_PKCS1_PADDING for crypto.privateDecrypt(), and         includes a security revert flag that can be used to restore support         (and the vulnerability).

    CVE-2024-22025

        It was discovered that Node.js was vulnerable to Denial of Service         by resource exhaustion in fetch() brotli decoding.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     10.24.0~dfsg-1~deb10u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nodejs packages.
