Descriptions

CRLF injection vulnerability in the ServerResponse#writeHead function in Node.js 0.10.x before 0.10.47, 0.12.x before 0.12.16, 4.x before 4.6.0, and 6.x before 6.7.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via the reason argument.

Vulnerabilidad de inyección CRLF en la función ServerResponse#writeHead en Node.js 0.10.x en versiones anteriores a 0.10.47, 0.12.x en versiones anteriores a 0.12.16, 4.x en versiones anteriores a 4.6.0 y 6.x en versiones anteriores a 6.7.0 permite a atacantes remotos inyectar cabeceras HTTP arbitrarias y llevar a cabo ataques de separación de respuesta HTTP a través del argumento de la razón.

It was found that the reason argument in ServerResponse#writeHead() was not properly validated. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially-crafted HTTP request.

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: rh-nodejs4-nodejs, rh-nodejs4-http-parser. Security Fix: It was found that Node.js' tls.checkServerIdentity() function did not properly validate server certificates containing wildcards. A malicious TLS server could use this flaw to get a specially crafted certificate accepted by a Node.js TLS client.
