Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU11858
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000168
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper bounds checking. If an alternative services (ALTSVC) frame is too large, the pointer field that points to the ALTSVC frame payload is left NULL. A remote attacker can submit a large ALTSVC frame, trigger a NULL pointer dereference and cause the service to crash.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU13376
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7161
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after they are no longer available when the affected software interacts with an HTTP/2 server. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input to the targeted node server that provides an HTTP/2 server and cause the node server to crash.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

3) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU13379
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7167
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can supply Calling Buffer.fill() or Buffer.alloc() with some parameters and cause the server to hang.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
