Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for rh-nodejs6-nodejs-tough-cookie.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2913 advisory.

Tough-Cookie is a Node.js module that offers RFC6265 Cookies and Cookie Jar.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-nodejs6-nodejs-tough-cookie (2.3.3). (BZ#1497701)

Security Fix(es):

* A regular expression denial of service flaw was found in Tough-Cookie. An attacker able to make an application using Touch-Cookie to parse a sufficiently large HTTP request Cookie header could cause the application to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2017-15010)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL rh-nodejs6-nodejs-tough-cookie package based on the guidance in RHSA-2017:2913.
