Muiltiple vulnerabilities in Node.js that is used by IBM InfoSphere Information Server were addressed.
CVEID:CVE-2021-22884
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when the allowlist includes “localhost6”. By controlling the victim’s DNS server or spoofing its responses, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the DNS rebinding protection mechanism using the “localhost6” domain and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 6.5

CVEID:CVE-2020-8201
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by CR-to-Hyphen conversion. By sending specially crafted HTTP request headers, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 7.4

CVEID:CVE-2020-8252
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the libuv’s fs.realpath.native. By sending an overly long argument, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
