CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: nodejs18 / nodejs (CVE-2024-27982)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 201710

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of nodejs18 / nodejs 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-2024-27982 advisory.

 - The team has identified a critical 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. (CVE-2024-27982)

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.
