Security Bulletin: Vulnerabilities in Node.js affect IBM Voice Gateway

Summary

Security Vulnerabilities in Node.js affect IBM Voice Gateway. The vulnerabilities have been addressed.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2024-22017
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by the failure of setuid() to drop all privileges due to io_uring. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform privileged operations.
CVSS Base score: 8.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282987 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2023-46809
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a vulnerability in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling and obtain significant timing differences in decryption for valid and invalid ciphertexts.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282990 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-22025
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a resource exhaustion flaw in fetch() brotli decoding . By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/284417 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2024-21892
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a bug in the implementation of the exception of CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject code that inherits the process’s elevated privileges.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282986 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2024-22019
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when reading unprocessed HTTP request with unbounded chunk extension. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282988 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2024-21891
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper path traversal sequence sanitization. By using a path traversal attack, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability leading to filesystem permission model bypass.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282991 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-21896
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. By monkey-patching Buffer internals, namely, Buffer.prototype.utf8Write, an attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing “dot dot” sequences (/…/) to read arbitrary files on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282989 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2024-21890
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the improper handling of wildcards in --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/282992 for the current score.
