{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-109869","details":"undici is an HTTP client library for Node.js. In versions 6.23.0 through 6.29.0, 7.18.0 through 7.30.0, and 8.0.0 through 8.12.1, its fetch() implementation crashes the Node.js process when a malicious server returns a response with more than five content codings and closes the connection before sending the body. undici rejects such responses because of a content-encoding limit, but it created the internal response stream before that check and returned without attaching an error listener or aborting the request, so the early close surfaces a content-length mismatch on the orphaned stream, which Node.js treats as an unhandled error and terminates the process. A remote, unauthenticated server can trigger this with a single response, even when the application correctly catches the fetch() rejection, resulting in a denial of service. The issue is fixed in undici 6.29.1, 7.30.1, and 8.12.2, and users should upgrade to one of those versions or later. There is no workaround.","modified":"2026-10-16T06:00:07.376085332Z","published":"2026-10-15T19:17:21.770Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-109869"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-109869"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-undici","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-undici?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u1","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u2","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u3","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u4","5.19.1+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.5-1","5.19.1+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.5-2","5.22.1+dfsg1+~cs20.10.10.2-1","5.26.3+dfsg1+~cs23.10.12-1","5.26.3+dfsg1+~cs23.10.12-2","5.26.3+dfsg1+~cs23.10.12-3","5.28.0+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-1","5.28.0+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-2","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-1","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-2","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-3","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-4","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-5","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-6","5.28.4+dfsg1+~cs23.12.11-1","5.28.4+dfsg1+~cs23.12.11-2","7.1.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.10-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.18.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.2.3+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.2.3+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2","7.24.5+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2","8.10.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.2-1","8.12.1+dfsg+~cs3.2.3-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","8.9.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-109869.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-undici","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-undici?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.18.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.5+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2","8.10.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.2-1","8.12.1+dfsg+~cs3.2.3-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","8.9.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-109869.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-undici","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-undici?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.18.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.5+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2","8.10.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.2-1","8.12.1+dfsg+~cs3.2.3-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","8.9.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-109869.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
