Description:

This update for nodejs14 fixes the following issues:

  • New upstream LTS version 14.15.4:
  • CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) bug in TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other exploits (bsc#1180553)

  • CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling allow two copies of a header field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html). (bsc#1180554)

  • New upstream LTS version 14.15.3:

  • deps:
    • upgrade npm to 6.14.9
    • update acorn to v8.0.4
  • http2: check write not scheduled in scope destructor
  • stream: fix regression on duplex end
