{"id":"USN-4796-1","summary":"nodejs vulnerabilities","details":"Alexander Minozhenko and James Bunton discovered that Node.js did not\nproperly handle wildcards in name fields of X.509 TLS certificates. An\nattacker could use this vulnerability to execute a machine-in-the-middle-\nattack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2016-7099)\n\nIt was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain NAPTR responses.\nA remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications using\nNode.js to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected\nUbuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2017-1000381)\n\nNikita Skovoroda discovered that Node.js mishandled certain input, leading\nto an out of bounds write. An attacker could use this vulnerability to\ncause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. This\nissue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-12115)\n\nArkadiy Tetelman discovered that Node.js improperly handled certain\nmalformed HTTP requests. An attacker could use this vulnerability to inject\nunexpected HTTP requests. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.\n(CVE-2018-12116)\n\nJan Maybach discovered that Node.js did not time out if incomplete\nHTTP/HTTPS headers were received. An attacker could use this vulnerability\nto cause a denial of service by keeping HTTP/HTTPS connections alive for a\nlong period of time. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.\n(CVE-2018-12122)\n\nMartin Bajanik discovered that the url.parse() method would return\nincorrect results if it received specially crafted input. An attacker could\nuse this vulnerability to spoof the hostname and bypass hostname-specific\nsecurity controls. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-12123)\n\nIt was discovered that Node.js is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack which\ncould be exploited to perform remote code execution. An attack is possible\nfrom malicious websites open in a web browser with network access to the system\nrunning the Node.js process. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.\n(CVE-2018-7160)\n\nIt was discovered that the Buffer.fill() and Buffer.alloc() methods\nimproperly handled certain inputs. An attacker could use this vulnerability\nto cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.\n(CVE-2018-7167)\n\nMarco Pracucci discovered that Node.js mishandled HTTP and HTTPS\nconnections. An attacker could use this vulnerability to cause a denial of\nservice. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-5737)\n","modified":"2026-04-24T09:32:38.282231762Z","published":"2021-03-15T21:18:37Z","related":["UBUNTU-CVE-2016-7099","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-1000381","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12115","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12116","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12122","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12123","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-7160","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-7167","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-5737"],"upstream":["CVE-2016-7099","CVE-2017-1000381","CVE-2018-12116","CVE-2018-7160","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-7099","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-1000381","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12116","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-7160"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4796-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2016-7099"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2017-1000381"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-7160"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-12116"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm1?arch=source&distro=trusty/esm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm1"}]}],"versions":["0.10.15~dfsg1-4","0.10.21~dfsg1-1","0.10.22~dfsg1-2","0.10.23~dfsg1-1","0.10.23~dfsg1-2","0.10.23~dfsg1-3","0.10.24~dfsg1-1","0.10.25~dfsg2-2","0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1","0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"nodejs","binary_version":"0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"nodejs-legacy","binary_version":"0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm1"}],"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro (Infra-only): https://ubuntu.com/pro"},"database_specific":{"cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","cves":[{"id":"CVE-2016-7099","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}]},"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-4796-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm1"}]}],"versions":["0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1","4.2.2~dfsg-1","4.2.3~dfsg-1","4.2.4~dfsg-1ubuntu1","4.2.4~dfsg-2","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu1","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.1","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"nodejs","binary_version":"4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm1"},{"binary_name":"nodejs-legacy","binary_version":"4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm1"}],"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro"},"database_specific":{"cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","cves":[{"id":"CVE-2016-7099","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]},{"id":"CVE-2017-1000381","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}]},"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-4796-1.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm1"}]}],"versions":["6.11.4~dfsg-1ubuntu1","6.11.4~dfsg-1ubuntu2","6.12.0~dfsg-1ubuntu1","6.12.0~dfsg-2ubuntu1","6.12.0~dfsg-2ubuntu2","8.10.0~dfsg-2","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.2","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.3","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"nodejs","binary_version":"8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm1"}],"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro: https://ubuntu.com/pro"},"database_specific":{"cves_map":{"ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","cves":[{"id":"CVE-2018-7160","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]},{"id":"CVE-2018-12116","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}]},"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/usn/USN-4796-1.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
