Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: nodejs / nodejs18 (CVE-2025-23085)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 216567

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of nodejs / nodejs18 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-23085 advisory.

 - A memory leak could occur when a remote peer abruptly closes the socket without sending a GOAWAY notification. Additionally, if an invalid header was detected by nghttp2, causing the connection to be terminated by the peer, the same leak was triggered. This flaw could lead to increased memory consumption and potential denial of service under certain conditions. This vulnerability affects HTTP/2 Server users on Node.js v18.x, v20.x, v22.x and v23.x. (CVE-2025-23085)

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.
