CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable nodejs to version 10.15.0~dfsg-6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs package and not the nodejs package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

All versions of Node.js 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node server providing an http2 server to crash. This can be accomplished by interacting with the http2 server in a manner that triggers a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after they are no longer available. This has been addressed by updating the http2 implementation.
