Summary

Node.js 0.12.x before 0.12.9, 4.x before 4.2.3, and 5.x before 5.1.1 does not ensure the availability of a parser for each HTTP socket, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uncaughtException and service outage) via a pipelined HTTP request.

    descriptionThe version of Apple Xcode installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 8.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Node.js component of the Xcode Server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
