Red Hat OpenShift 3.3 RHSA-2016-2101-01 Moderate Nodejs Denial Of Service

Calendar Grey October 27, 2016
Scroller Redhat
A recent security patch has been released for nodejs and nodejs-tough-cookie in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
An update for nodejs-tough-cookie and nodejs is now available for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3

Solution

For details on how to apply this update in OpenShift Container Platform 3, see the Solution section of the following advisory:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2016:2100

Summary

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is the company's cloud computing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.
Security Fix(es):
* A regular expression denial of service flaw was found in Tough-Cookie. An attacker able to make an application using Touch-Cookie to parse a sufficiently large HTTP request Cookie header could cause the application to consume an excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2016-1000232)
* It was found that the reason argument in ServerResponse#writeHead() was not properly validated. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2016-5325)
This advisory contains the RPM packages for this release. See the following advisory for the container images fixes for this release:
