The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2021:0744 advisory.

  • Node.js before 10.24.0, 12.21.0, 14.16.0, and 15.10.0 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when too many connection attempts with an ‘unknownProtocol’ are established. This leads to a leak of file descriptors. If a file descriptor limit is configured on the system, then the server is unable to accept new connections and prevent the process also from opening, e.g. a file. If no file descriptor limit is configured, then this lead to an excessive memory usage and cause the system to run out of memory.
    (CVE-2021-22883)

  • Node.js before 10.24.0, 12.21.0, 14.16.0, and 15.10.0 is vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks as the whitelist includes localhost6. When localhost6 is not present in /etc/hosts, it is just an ordinary domain that is resolved via DNS, i.e., over network. If the attacker controls the victim’s DNS server or can spoof its responses, the DNS rebinding protection can be bypassed by using the localhost6 domain. As long as the attacker uses the localhost6 domain, they can still apply the attack described in CVE-2018-7160. (CVE-2021-22884)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
