"Node.js reports : Denial of Service Vulnerability in HTTP/2
(CVE-2018-7161) All versions of 8.x and later are vulnerable and the
severity is HIGH. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by
causing a node server providing an http2 server to crash. This can be
accomplished by interacting with the http2 server in a manner that
triggers a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after
they are no longer available. This has been addressed by updating the
http2 implementation. Thanks to Jordan Zebor at F5 Networks for
reporting this issue. Denial of Service, nghttp2 dependency
(CVE-2018-1000168) All versions of 9.x and later are vulnerable and
the severity is HIGH. Under certain conditions, a malicious client can
trigger an uninitialized read (and a subsequent segfault) by sending a
malformed ALTSVC frame. This has been addressed through an by updating
nghttp2. Denial of Service Vulnerability in TLS (CVE-2018-7162) All
versions of 9.x and later are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. An
attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node process
which provides an http server supporting TLS server to crash. This can
be accomplished by sending duplicate/unexpected messages during the
handshake. This vulnerability has been addressed by updating the TLS
implementation. Thanks to Jordan Zebor at F5 Networks all of his help
investigating this issue with the Node.js team. Memory exhaustion DoS
on v9.x (CVE-2018-7164) Versions 9.7.0 and later are vulnerable and
the severity is MEDIUM. A bug introduced in 9.7.0 increases the memory
consumed when reading from the network into JavaScript using the
net.Socket object directly as a stream. An attacker could use this
cause a denial of service by sending tiny chunks of data in short
succession. This vulnerability was restored by reverting to the prior
behaviour. Calls to Buffer.fill() and/or Buffer.alloc() may hang
(CVE-2018-7167) Calling Buffer.fill() or Buffer.alloc() with some
parameters can lead to a hang which could result in a Denial of
Service. In order to address this vulnerability, the implementations
of Buffer.alloc() and Buffer.fill() were updated so that they zero
fill instead of hanging in these cases."
