Fedora 20 : nodejs-send-0.3.0-4.fc20 (2014-11421)

high Nessus Plugin ID 78050

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

When relying on the root option to restrict file access it may be possible for an application consumer to escape out of the restricted directory and access files in a similarly named directory. For example, static(_dirname + '/public') would allow access to _dirname + '/public-restricted'.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected nodejs-send package.
