Dist Opensuse Esm H88
Essential patch for nodejs14 on openSUSE to mitigate three security concerns, particularly focusing on DNS as well as HTTP-related flaws.
An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available

Description

This update for nodejs14 fixes the following issues:

- New upstream LTS version 14.15.4:

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

implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket,

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)
