Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6735-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 6735-1 - It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of invalid public keys while creating an x509 certificate. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10. It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of CRLF sequences to delimit HTTP requests. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain unauthorised access. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6735-1
April 16, 2024

nodejs vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 23.10
  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
  • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Node.js.

Software Description:

  • nodejs: An open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment.

Details:

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of invalid public
keys while creating an x509 certificate. If a user or an automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-30588)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of CRLF sequences to
delimit HTTP requests. If a user or an automated system were tricked into
opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to obtain unauthorised access. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-30589)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly described the generateKeys()
function in the documentation. This inconsistency could possibly lead to
security issues in applications that use these APIs.
(CVE-2023-30590)

CVE-2023-37276: aiohttp.web.Application vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling via llhttp HTTP request parser

aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. aiohttp v3.8.4 and earlier are bundled with llhttp v6.0.6. Vulnerable code is used by aiohttp for its HTTP request parser when available which is the default case when installing from a wheel. This vulnerability only affects users of aiohttp as an HTTP server (ie `aiohttp.Application`), you are not affected by this vulnerability if you are using aiohttp as an HTTP client library (ie `aiohttp.ClientSession`). Sending a crafted HTTP request will cause the server to misinterpret one of the HTTP header values leading to HTTP request smuggling. This issue has been addressed in version 3.8.5. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade can reinstall aiohttp using `AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS=1` as an environment variable to disable the llhttp HTTP request parser implementation. The pure Python implementation isn't vulnerable.

CVE-2023-30589

The llhttp parser in the http module in Node v20.2.0 does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). The CR character (without LF) is sufficient to delimit HTTP header fields in the llhttp parser. According to RFC7230 section 3, only the CRLF sequence should delimit each header-field. This impacts all Node.js active versions: v16, v18, and, v20
