CVE-ID:
CVE-2018-5407
Description: Multiple SMT/Hyper-Threading architectures and processors could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by execution engine sharing on Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) architecture. By using the PortSmash new side-channel attack, an attacker could run a malicious process next to legitimate processes using the architectur’s parallel thread running capabilities to leak encrypted data from the CPU's internal processes. Note: This vulnerability is known as PortSmash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.1

CVE-ID:
CVE-2018-12116
Description: Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request splitting attacks, caused by improper input validation by the path option of an HTTP request. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP request and cause the browser to send 2 HTTP requests, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting.
CVSS Base Score: 6.1
