Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable
network applications in the JavaScript programming language.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Node.js handled pipelined
HTTP requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send an excessive
amount of HTTP requests over a network connection, causing Node.js to use
an excessive amount of memory and possibly exit when all available memory
is exhausted. (CVE-2013-4450)
Node.js is included in Red Hat Software Collections 1.0 as a Technology
Preview. More information about Red Hat Technology Previews is available
