Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU68895
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3602
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email address field inside X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a 4-byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that either a CA signs the malicious certificate or for the application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer.
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsNode.js: 14.0.0 - 19.0.0

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?
The attacker would have to send a specially crafted request to the affected application in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU68896
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3786
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The
vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email
address field length inside a X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a
specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a buffer overflow and crash the application.

3) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action
EUVDB-ID: #VU69354
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43548
CWE-ID:
CWE-350 - Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DNS rebinding attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of octal IP address within the Node.js rebinding protector for --inspec. A remote attacker can
resolve the invalid octal address via DNS. When combined with an active
--inspect session, such as when using VSCode, an attacker can perform DNS
rebinding and execute arbitrary code in client's browser.
