3. Description:

 

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily

building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven,

non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for

data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

 

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:

rh-nodejs4-nodejs (4.6.2), rh-nodejs4-http-parser (2.7.0). (BZ#1388097)

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* It was found that Node.js' tls.checkServerIdentity() function did not

properly validate server certificates containing wildcards. A malicious TLS

server could use this flaw to get a specially crafted certificate accepted

by a Node.js TLS client. (CVE-2016-7099)

 

* It was found that the V8 Zone class was vulnerable to integer overflow

when allocating new memory (Zone::New() and Zone::NewExpand()). An attacker

with the ability to manipulate a large zone could crash the application or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the application privileges.

(CVE-2016-1669)

 

* A vulnerability was found in c-ares, a DNS resolver library bundled with

Node.js. A hostname with an escaped trailing dot would have its size

calculated incorrectly, leading to a single byte written beyond the end of

a buffer on the heap. An attacker able to provide such a hostname to an

application using c-ares, could potentially cause that application to

crash. (CVE-2016-5180)

 

* It was found that the reason argument in ServerResponse#writeHead() was

not properly validated. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to

conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially-crafted HTTP

request. (CVE-2016-5325)

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes

described in this advisory, refer to:

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

1335449 - CVE-2016-1669 V8: integer overflow leading to buffer overflow in Zone::New

1346910 - CVE-2016-5325 nodejs: reason argument in ServerResponse#writeHead() not properly validated

1379921 - CVE-2016-7099 nodejs: wildcard certificates not properly validated

1380463 - CVE-2016-5180 c-ares: Single byte out of buffer write

1388097 - Rebase nodejs to latest v4 release
