The most recent Node.js version 10 update fixes critical vulnerabilities, including a denial-of-service (DoS) issue and an HTTP request smuggling exploit in openSUSE Leap 15.2.
An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available

Description

This update for nodejs10 fixes the following issues:

- New upstream LTS version 10.23.1:

* CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) bug in TLS

node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly

allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method

does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as

part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to

corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other

exploits (bsc#1180553)

* CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling allow two copies of a header

field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header

fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and

ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling

(https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html). (bsc#1180554)
