It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-568 advisory.
A vulnerability in Node.js has been identified, allowing for a Denial of Service (DoS) attack through resource exhaustion when using the fetch() function to retrieve content from an untrusted URL. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the fetch() function in Node.js always decodes Brotli, making it possible for an attacker to cause resource exhaustion when fetching content from an untrusted URL. An attacker controlling the URL passed into fetch() can exploit this vulnerability to exhaust memory, potentially leading to process termination, depending on the system configuration. (CVE-2024-22025)
Undici is an HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js. Undici already cleared Authorization headers on cross-origin redirects, but did not clear Proxy-Authentication
headers. This issue has been patched in versions 5.28.3 and 6.6.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-24758)
c-ares is a C library for asynchronous DNS requests. ares__read_line()
is used to parse local configuration files such as /etc/resolv.conf
, /etc/nsswitch.conf
, the HOSTALIASES
file, and if using a c-ares version prior to 1.27.0, the /etc/hosts
file. If any of these configuration files has an embedded NULL
character as the first character in a new line, it can lead to attempting to read memory prior to the start of the given buffer which may result in a crash. This issue is fixed in c-ares 1.27.0.
No known workarounds exist. (CVE-2024-25629)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
