Notable changes

This is a security release.

Vulnerabilities fixed:

  • CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High)
    Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in its
    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
  • CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling in nodejs
    Affected versions of Node.js 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).
  • CVE-2020-1971: OpenSSL - EDIPARTYNAME NULL pointer de-reference (High)
    This is a vulnerability in OpenSSL which may be exploited through Node.js.
