CVE-2016-5325

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.

Node.js has a defect that may make HTTP response splitting possible under certain circumstances. If user-input is passed to the reason argument to writeHead() on an HTTP response, a new-line character may be used to inject additional responses (CVE-2016-5325).

The tls.checkServerIdentity function in Node.js 0.10.x before 0.10.47 does not properly handle wildcards in name fields of X.509 certificates, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate (CVE-2016-7099).

These are all security issues fixed in the nodejs4-4.7.0-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update brings the new upstream nodejs LTS version 4.6.0, fixing bugs and security issues:

• Nodejs embedded openssl version update
  • upgrade to 1.0.2j (CVE-2016-6304, CVE-2016-2183, CVE-2016-2178, CVE-2016-6306, CVE-2016-7052)
  • remove support for dynamic 3rd party engine modules
• http: Properly validate for allowable characters in input user data. This introduces a new case where throw may occur when configuring HTTP responses, users should already be adopting try/catch here. (CVE-2016-5325, bsc#985201)
• tls: properly validate wildcard certificates (CVE-2016-7099, bsc#1001652)
• buffer: Zero-fill excess bytes in new Buffer objects created with Buffer.concat()
