Fedora 35: 2022-0eda327cb4 Medium: Nodejs URI Issues Resolved

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.

## 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://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=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://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=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://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=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://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-21824) after publication. Thanks to Patrik

Oldsberg (rugvip) for reporting this vulnerability.
