Affected: The Node.js Project Node.js

The Node.js inspector, in 6.x and later is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack which could be exploited to perform remote code execution. An attack is possible from malicious websites open in a web browser on the same computer, or another computer with network access to the computer running the Node.js process. A malicious website could use a DNS rebinding attack to trick the web browser to bypass same-origin-policy checks and to allow HTTP connections to localhost or to hosts on the local network. If a Node.js process with the debug port active is running on localhost or on a host on the local network, the malicious website could connect to it as a debugger, and get full code execution access.

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS: nodejs, Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: nodejs, Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS: nodejs

Alexander Minozhenko and James Bunton discovered that Node.js did not properly handle wildcards in name fields of X.509 TLS certificates. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute a machine-in-the-middle- attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2016-7099)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain NAPTR responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause applications using Node.js to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2017-1000381)

Nikita Skovoroda discovered that Node.js mishandled certain input, leading to an out of bounds write. An attacker could use this vulnerability to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-12115)

Arkadiy Tetelman discovered that Node.js improperly handled certain malformed HTTP requests. An attacker could use this vulnerability to inject unexpected HTTP requests. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-12116)

Jan Maybach discovered that Node.js did not time out if incomplete HTTP/HTTPS headers were received. An attacker could use this vulnerability to cause a denial of service by keeping HTTP/HTTPS connections alive for a long period of time. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2018-12122)

Martin Bajanik discovered that the url.parse() method would return incorrect results if it received specially crafted input. An…
