CVE-2021-44531 – nodejs: Improper handling of URI Subject Alternative Names

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-44531

Accepting arbitrary Subject Alternative Name (SAN) types, unless a PKI is specifically defined to use a particular SAN type, can result in bypassing name-constrained intermediates. Node.js < 12.22.9, < 14.18.3, < 16.13.2, and < 17.3.1 was accepting URI SAN types, which PKIs are often not defined to use. Additionally, when a protocol allows URI SANs, Node.js did not match the URI correctly.Versions of Node.js with the fix for this disable the URI SAN type when checking a certificate against a hostname. This behavior can be reverted through the --security-revert command-line option. Aceptar tipos de nombres alternativos de sujeto (SAN) arbitrarios, a menos que una PKI esté definida específicamente para usar un tipo de SAN concreto, puede resultar en una omisión de los intermediarios con restricción de nombre. • https://hackerone.com/reports/1429694 https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/jan-2022-security-releases https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20220325-0007 https://www.debian.org/security/2022/dsa-5170 https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpuapr2022.html https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujul2022.html https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2021-44531 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2040839 • CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation •
