Multiple vulnerabilities affect IBM® SDK for Node.js™ in IBM Cloud

Document Information

Document number    : 6380404
Modified date      : 09 December 2020
Product            : IBM SDK for Node.js for Bluemix
Software version   : All
Operating system(s): Linux

Summary

Node.js (16-Nov-2020) Security releases available

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2020-8277

DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service. By getting the
application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses, an
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger a DNS request for a host
of their choice resulting in a denial of service.

CVSS Base score: 7.5

CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
191755 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)


Affected Products and Versions

12.x versions of Node.js are vulnerable.

Through the command-line Cloud Foundry client run the following command:

cf ssh  -c "cat app/logs/staging_task.log" | grep "Installing node"
- -----> Installing node 12.19.1

Alternatively, through the command-line Cloud Foundry client run the following
command:

$ cf ssh  -c "cat app/logs/staging_task.log" | grep "IBM SDK for
Node.js"
- -----> IBM SDK for Node.js Buildpack v4.5-20201130-1530

If the Buildpack version is not at least v4.5 your application may be
vulnerable.


Remediation/Fixes

The fixes for these vulnerabilities are included in Node.js v12.19.1 and
subsequent releases.

To upgrade to the latest version of the Node.js runtime, please specify the
latest Node.js runtime in your package.json file for your application:

"engines": {
"node": "12.*"
},

You will then need to restage (or re-push) your application using the IBM SDK
for Node.js Buildpack v4.5.

Workarounds and Mitigations
None
