Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32212)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to IsIPAddress does not properly checks if an IP address is invalid or not. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to bypass the IsAllowedHost check and execute arbitrary code on the system.


2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32213)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.


3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32214)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


4) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32222)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions

The vulnerability exists due to Node.js after start on linux based systems attempts to read /home/iojs/build/ws/out/Release/obj.target/deps/openssl/openssl.cnf, which ordinarily doesn't exist. A remote unauthenticated attacker can attemp to read openssl.cnf from /home/iojs/build/ upon startup to create this file and affect the default OpenSSL configuration for other users.


5) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32215)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not correctly handle multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0778)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the BN_mod_sqrt() function when processing an ASN.1 certificate that contains elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the TLS server or client, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


7) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44533)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificate subject and issuer fields. A remote attacker can create a certificate with specially crafted multi-value Relative Distinguished Names and perform spoofing attack.


8) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21824)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the formatting logic of the console.table() function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and assign an empty string to numerical keys of the object prototype.



9) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44531)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URI Subject Alternative Names. Node.js accepts arbitrary Subject Alternative Name (SAN) types, unless a PKI is specifically defined to use a particular SAN type. A remote attacker can bypass name-constrained intermediates and perform spoofing attack.


10) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44532)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificates, when converting SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format. A remote attacker can inject special characters into the string and perform spoofing attack.
