Security Bulletin
Summary
This Security Bulletin addresses multiple vulnerabilities in Node.js that have been remediated in IBM Planning Analytics Workspace Release 58.
Vulnerability Details
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper certificate validation. By sending a specially-crafted X.509 certificate, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the process to abort.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/175912 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-2019-15605
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw when handling unusual Transfer-Encoding HTTP header. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/175913 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2019-15606
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an issue when HTTP header values do not have trailing OWS trimmed. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass authorization based on header value comparisons.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/175914 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2020-8172
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. The 'session' event could be emitted before the 'secureConnect' event and possibly allow for the reuse of the TLS session. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass host certificate verification and gain access to the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/182814 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2020-8174
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by multiple memory corruptions in the napi_get_value_string_latin1(), napi_get_value_string_utf8(), or napi_get_value_string_utf16() functions. By sending an overly long string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/182816 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2020-11080
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the HTTP/2 session frame which is limited to 32 settings by default. By sending overly large HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume all available CPU resources.
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/182815 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
