NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nodejs:20/nodejs package and not the nodejs:20/nodejs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
