Description:

This update for nodejs12 fixes the following issues:

  • New upstream LTS version 12.20.1:
  • CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) bug in TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other exploits (bsc#1180553)
  • CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling allow two copies of a header field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html). (bsc#1180554)

  • CVE-2020-1971: OpenSSL - EDIPARTYNAME NULL pointer de-reference (High) This is a vulnerability in OpenSSL which may be exploited through Node.js. (bsc#1179491)

  • New upstream LTS version 12.20.0:

  • deps:
    • update llhttp '2.1.2' -> '2.1.3'
    • update uv '1.39.0' -> '1.40.0'
    • update uvwasi '0.0.10' -> '0.0.11'
  • fs: add .ref() and .unref() methods to watcher classes
  • http: added scheduling option to http agent
  • module:
    • exports pattern support
    • named exports for CJS via static analysis
  • n-api: add more property defaults (gh#35214)
