K17238 : Node.js vulnerability CVE-2015-5380

Security Advisory Description

The Utf8DecoderBase::WriteUtf16Slow function in unicode-decoder.cc in Google V8, as used in Node.js before 0.12.6, io.js before 1.8.3 and 2.x before 2.3.3, and other products, does not verify that there is memory available for a UTF-16 surrogate pair, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted byte sequence. (CVE-2015-5380)
Impact

• For the f5-rest-node package on both the BIG-IP and BIG-IQ systems: A locally authenticated attacker with access to the command line may be able to cause a partial denial-of-service (DoS) to the system through exploitation of this issue.
• For the BIG-IQ UI node package: A remote attacker may be able to cause a denial of service (DoS) to the system through exploitation of this issue.
