Security update for nodejs14 (moderate)

An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

This update for nodejs14 fixes the following issues:

• New upstream LTS version 14.15.4:

  • CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) bug in TLS
    implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket,
    node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly
    allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method
    does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as
    part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to
    corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other
    exploits (bsc#1180553)
  • CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling allow two copies of a header
    field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header
    fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and
    ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling
    (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html). (bsc#1180554)

• New upstream LTS version 14.15.3:

  • deps:
    • upgrade npm to 6.14.9
    • update acorn to v8.0.4
  • http2: check write not scheduled in scope destructor
  • stream: fix regression on duplex end

• New upstream LTS version 14.15.1:

  • deps: Denial of Service through DNS request (High). A Node.js
    application that allows an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a
    host of their choice could trigger a Denial of Service by getting the
    application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses
    (bsc#1178882, CVE-2020-8277)
