Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2022-0eda327cb4
2022-01-20 14:51:14.480606
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : nodejs
Product : Fedora 35
Version : 16.13.2
Release : 1.fc35
URL : http://nodejs.org/
Summary : JavaScript runtime
Description :
Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime
for easily building fast, scalable network applications.
Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that
makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive
real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Update Information:
## 2022-01-10, Version 16.13.2 'Gallium' (LTS), @danielleadams This is a
security release. ### Notable changes #### Improper handling of URI Subject
Alternative Names (Medium)(CVE-2021-44531) Accepting arbitrary Subject
Alternative Name (SAN) types, unless a PKI is specifically defined to use a
particular SAN type, can result in bypassing name-constrained intermediates.
Node.js was accepting URI SAN types, which PKIs are often not defined to use.
Additionally, when a protocol allows URI SANs, Node.js did not match the URI
correctly. Versions of Node.js with the fix for this disable the URI SAN type
when checking a certificate against a hostname. This behavior can be reverted
through the `--security-revert` command-line option. More details will be
available at [CVE-2021-44531](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-
bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44531) after publication. #### Certificate
Verification Bypass via String Injection (Medium)(CVE-2021-44532) Node.js
converts SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format. It uses this
string to check peer certificates against hostnames when validating connections.
The string format was subject to an injection vulnerability when name
constraints were used within a certificate chain, allowing the bypass of these
name constraints. Versions of Node.js with the fix for this escape SANs
containing the problematic characters in order to prevent the injection. This
behavior can be reverted through the `--security-revert` command-line option.
More details will be available at [CVE-2021-44532](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-
bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44532) after publication. #### Incorrect handling
of certificate subject and issuer fields (Medium)(CVE-2021-44533) Node.js did
not handle multi-value Relative Distinguished Names correctly. Attackers could
craft certificate subjects containing a single-value Relative Distinguished Name
that would be interpreted as a multi-value Relative Distinguished Name, for
example, in order to inject a Common Name that would allow bypassing the
certificate subject verification. Affected versions of Node.js do not accept
multi-value Relative Distinguished Names and are thus not vulnerable to such
attacks themselves. However, third-party code that uses node's ambiguous
presentation of certificate subjects may be vulnerable. More details will be
available at [CVE-2021-44533](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-
bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44533) after publication. #### Prototype
pollution via `console.table` properties (Low)(CVE-2022-21824) Due to the
formatting logic of the `console.table()` function it was not safe to allow user
controlled input to be passed to the `properties` parameter while simultaneously
passing a plain object with at least one property as the first parameter, which
could be `__proto__`. The prototype pollution has very limited control, in that
it only allows an empty string to be assigned numerical keys of the object
prototype. Versions of Node.js with the fix for this use a null protoype for
the object these properties are being assigned to. More details will be
available at [CVE-2022-21824](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-
bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-21824) after publication. Thanks to Patrik
Oldsberg (rugvip) for reporting this vulnerability.
