Description

CVE-2024-27982 - Malformed headers can lead to smuggling of HTTP requests.

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2024-27982

The team has identified a critical vulnerability in the http server of the most recent version of Node, where malformed headers can lead to HTTP request smuggling. Specifically, if a space is placed before a content-length header, it is not interpreted correctly, enabling attackers to smuggle in a second request within the body of the first.

CVE-2024-27983 - A Node.js HTTP/2 can be made completely unavailable through sending HTTP/2 frame packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside.

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-27983

 

An attacker can make the Node.js HTTP/2 server completely unavailable by sending a small amount of HTTP/2 frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside. It is possible to leave some data in nghttp2 memory after reset when headers with HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frame are sent to the server and then a TCP connection is abruptly closed by the client triggering the Http2Session destructor while header frames are still being processed (and stored in memory) causing a race condition.

EV, DA and CA Servers:

Both vulnerabilities are specific to the Node.JS HTTP Server. It has been determined there is no direct use of the Node.JS HTTP Server in the code base. Therefore, there is no impact nor any required mitigation.
