Amazon Linux 2022 : nodejs, nodejs-devel, nodejs-full-i18n (ALAS2022-2022-013)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 212466

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2022 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-013 advisory.

An HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS) vulnerability was found in the llhttp library, used by Node.JS. Spaces as part of the header names were accepted as valid. In situations where HTTP conversations are being proxied (such as proxy, reverse-proxy, load-balancer), an attacker can use this flaw to inject arbitrary messages through the proxy. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
(CVE-2021-22959)

An HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS) vulnerability was found in the llhttp library, used by Node.JS. During the parsing of chunked messages, the chunk size parameter was not validated properly. In situations where HTTP conversations are being proxied (such as proxy, reverse-proxy, load-balancer), an attacker can use this flaw to inject arbitrary messages through the proxy. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2021-22960)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'dnf update --releasever=2022.0.20220125 nodejs' to update your system.
