Summary

Node.js as used in IBM QRadar Packet Capture has been updated to resolve multiple vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-7158
Description: Node.js path module is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted file path, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a regular expression denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5.90
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143449 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: *Undefined
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

CVEID: CVE-2018-7159
Description: Node.js http module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the acceptance of incorrect Content-Length values, containing spaces within the value, in HTTP headers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to confuse the script and launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5.30
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143448 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score: *Undefined
