CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: nodejs18 / nodejs / libuv (CVE-2024-22017)

high Nessus Plugin ID 201257

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of nodejs18 / nodejs / libuv installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-22017 advisory.

- setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid().
This allows the process to perform privileged operations despite presumably having dropped such privileges through a call to setuid(). This vulnerability affects all users using version greater or equal than Node.js 18.18.0, Node.js 20.4.0 and Node.js 21. (CVE-2024-22017)

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 affected packages.
