Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1305-1 advisory.

- The team has identified a vulnerability in the http server of the most recent version of Node, where malformed headers can lead to HTTP request smuggling. Specifically, if a space is placed before a content- length header, it is not interpreted correctly, enabling attackers to smuggle in a second request within the body of the first. Impacts: Thank you, to bpingel for reporting this vulnerability and Paolo Insogna for fixing it. Summary The Node.js project will release new versions of the 18.x, 20.x, 21.x releases lines on or shortly after, Wednesday, April 3, 2024 in order to address: (CVE-2024-27982)

- An attacker can make the Node.js HTTP/2 server completely unavailable by sending a small amount of HTTP/2 frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside. It is possible to leave some data in nghttp2 memory after reset when headers with HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frame are sent to the server and then a TCP connection is abruptly closed by the client triggering the Http2Session destructor while header frames are still being processed (and stored in memory) causing a race condition. (CVE-2024-27983)

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 nodejs16, nodejs16-devel, nodejs16-docs and / or npm16 packages.
