Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35255)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak randomness in WebCrypto keygen within the SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen() in src/crypto/crypto_keygen.cc. A remote attacker can decrypt sensitive information.
2) Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32212)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to IsIPAddress does not properly checks if an IP address is invalid or not. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to bypass the IsAllowedHost check and execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7160)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.The weakness exists due to improper validation of the Host header, leaving the inspector vulnerable to a DNS rebind attack and bypass same-origin policy. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted website and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32215)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not correctly handle multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
5) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32213)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35256)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
7) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32222)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions
The vulnerability exists due to Node.js after start on linux based systems attempts to read /home/iojs/build/ws/out/Release/obj.target/deps/openssl/openssl.cnf, which ordinarily doesn't exist. A remote unauthenticated attacker can attemp to read openssl.cnf from /home/iojs/build/ upon startup to create this file and affect the default OpenSSL configuration for other users.
