Security Bulletin


Summary

Security Vulnerabilities in Node.js affect IBM Voice Gateway. The vulnerabilities have been addressed.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2024-22017
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by the failure of setuid() to drop all privileges due to io_uring. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform privileged operations.
CVSS Base score: 8.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282987 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-46809
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a vulnerability in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling and obtain significant timing differences in decryption for valid and invalid ciphertexts.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282990 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-22025
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a resource exhaustion flaw in fetch() brotli decoding . By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/284417 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-21892
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a bug in the implementation of the exception of CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject code that inherits the process's elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282986 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-22019
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when reading unprocessed HTTP request with unbounded chunk extension. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282988 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-21891
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper path traversal sequence sanitization. By using a path traversal attack, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability leading to filesystem permission model bypass.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282991 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-21896
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. By monkey-patching Buffer internals, namely, Buffer.prototype.utf8Write, an attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to read arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282989 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-21890
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper handling of wildcards in --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282992 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
