SUSE update for nodejs12

1) Improper validation of integrity check value

EUVDB-ID: #VU82069

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38552

CWE-ID: CWE-354 - Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the policy feature, which checks the integrity of a resource against a trusted manifest. An application can intercept the operation and return a forged checksum to node's policy implementation, thus effectively disabling the integrity check.

Mitigation

Update the affected package nodejs12 to the latest version.

2) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU81728

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 5.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.

Mitigation

Update the affected package nodejs12 to the latest version.
