Package        : node-moment
Version        : 2.24.0+ds-1+deb10u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2022-24785 CVE-2022-31129
Debian Bug     : 1009327 1014845

Moment.js is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating,
manipulating, and formatting dates. A couple of vulnerabilities
were reported as follows:

CVE-2022-24785

    A path traversal vulnerability impacts npm (server) users of
    Moment.js, especially if a user-provided locale string is directly
    used to switch moment locale.

CVE-2022-31129

    Affected versions of moment were found to use an inefficient
    parsing algorithm. Specifically using string-to-date parsing in
    moment (more specifically rfc2822 parsing, which is tried by
    default) has quadratic (N^2) complexity on specific inputs. Users    may notice a noticeable slowdown is observed with inputs above 10k
    characters. Users who pass user-provided strings without sanity
    length checks to moment constructor are vulnerable to (Re)DoS
    attacks.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
2.24.0+ds-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your node-moment packages.
