NodeJS 18.20.2, 20.12.2 & 21.7.3 SECURITY RELEASE

Security release!

Wednesday, April 10, 2024 Security Releases

RG

Rafael Gonzaga

Security releases available

Updates are now available for the 18.x, 20.x, 21.x Node.js release lines for the following issues.

Command injection via args parameter of child_process.spawn without shell option enabled on Windows (CVE-2024-27980) - (HIGH)

Due to the improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync, a malicious command line argument can inject arbitrary commands and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled.

It is important to note that there has been a breaking change for Windows users who utilize child_process.spawn and child_process.spawnSync. Node.js will now error with EINVAL if a .bat or .cmd file is passed to child_process.spawn and child_process.spawnSync without the shell option set. If the input to spawn/spawnSync is sanitized, users can now pass { shell: true } as an option to prevent the occurrence of EINVALs errors.

While it is possible to also pass --security-revert=CVE-2024-27980 to revert the security patch, we strongly advise against doing so. Impact:

  • This vulnerability affects all Windows users in active release lines: 18.x, 20.x, 21.x

Thank you, to ryotak for reporting this vulnerability and thank you Ben Noordhuis for fixing it.


Summary

The Node.js project will release new versions of the 18.x, 20.x, 21.x releases lines on or shortly after, Tuesday, April 9, 2024 in order to address:

  • 1 high severity issues.

Impact

The 18.x release line of Node.js is vulnerable to 1 high severity issue. The 20.x release line of Node.js is vulnerable to 1 high severity issue. The 21.x release line of Node.js is vulnerable to 1 high severity issue.

Release timing

Releases will be available on, or shortly after, Tuesday, April 9, 2024.

Contact and future updates

The current Node.js security policy can be found at https://nodejs.org/en/security/. Please follow the process outlined in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/SECURITY.md if you wish to report a vulnerability in Node.js.

Subscribe to the low-volume announcement-only nodejs-sec mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nodejs-sec to stay up to date on security vulnerabilities and security-related releases of Node.js and the projects maintained in the nodejs GitHub organization.

We have multiple releases out for NodeJS to address security issues. These are running on NPM 10.5.0 and it is highly recommended you update to these versions to mitigate the security risk.

Apache 2.4.58 Security Release

Security release!

Fixed in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.58

low: mod_macro buffer over-read ( CVE-2023-31122)

Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in mod_macro of Apache HTTP Server.This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: through 2.4.57.

Acknowledgements: finder: David Shoon (github/davidshoon)

Update 2.4.58 released 2023-10-19
Affects <=2.4.57

low: Apache HTTP Server: DoS in HTTP/2 with initial windows size 0 ( CVE-2023-43622)

An attacker, opening a HTTP/2 connection with an initial window size of 0, was able to block handling of that connection indefinitely in Apache HTTP Server. This could be used to exhaust worker resources in the server, similar to the well known "slow loris" attack pattern.

This has been fixed in version 2.4.58, so that such connection are terminated properly after the configured connection timeout.

This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: from 2.4.55 through 2.4.57.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes the issue.

Update 2.4.58 released 2023-10-19
Affects <=2.4.57

moderate: Apache HTTP Server: HTTP/2 stream memory not reclaimed right away on RST ( CVE-2023-45802)

When a HTTP/2 stream was reset (RST frame) by a client, there was a time window were the request's memory resources were not reclaimed immediately. Instead, de-allocation was deferred to connection close. A client could send new requests and resets, keeping the connection busy and open and causing the memory footprint to keep on growing. On connection close, all resources were reclaimed, but the process might run out of memory before that.

This was found by the reporter during testing of CVE-2023-44487 (HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Exploit) with their own test client. During "normal" HTTP/2 use, the probability to hit this bug is very low. The kept memory would not become noticeable before the connection closes or times out.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.58, which fixes the issue.
