Advisory ID:       RHSA-2016:1380-01
Product:           Red Hat Software Collections
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:1380

====================================================================
1. Summary:

An update for nodejs010-node-gyp and nodejs010-nodejs-qs is now available
for Red Hat Software Collections.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

3. Description:

Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable
network applications in the JavaScript programming language.

Security Fix(es):

* The nodejs-qs module has the ability to create sparse arrays during
parsing. By specifying a high index in a querystring parameter it is
possible to create a large array that will eventually take up all the
allocated memory of the running process, resulting in a crash.
(CVE-2014-7191)

Bug Fix(es):

* A previous patch to the nodejs010-node-gyp RPM package introduced a bug,
which caused the node-gyp module to work incorrectly. As a consequence,
users were unable to install or build native Node.js modules. A new patch
has been applied, the node-gyp module now works as expected, and it no
longer affects other modules. (BZ#1255594)

All nodejs010-nodejs-qs and nodejs010-node-gyp users are advised to upgrade
to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this
issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
