Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: nodejs (CVE-2024-21896)

The version of nodejs installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-21896 advisory. - The permission model protects itself against path traversal attacks by calling path.resolve on any paths giv...

The permission model protects itself against path traversal attacks by calling path.resolve() on any paths given by the user. If the path is to be treated as a Buffer the implementation uses Buffer.from() to obtain a Buffer from the result of path.resolve(). By monkey-patching Buffer internals namely Buffer.prototype.utf8Write the application can modify the result of path.resolve() which leads to a path traversal vulnerability. This vulnerability affects all users using the experimental permission model in Node.js 20 and Node.js 21. Please note that at the time this CVE was issued the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js.

nodejs: path traversal by monkey-patching buffer internals

A flaw was found in Node.js. The permission model protects itself against path traversal attacks by calling path.resolve on any paths given by the user. If the path is to be treated as a buffer, the implementation uses Buffer.from to obtain a buffer from the result of path.resolve. By...
