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 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 process which provides an http server supporting TLS server to crash. This can be accomplished by sending duplicate/unexpected messages during the handshake. This vulnerability has been addressed by updating the TLS implementation.
