Published Sep 30, 2019 · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Ecosystem: AlmaLinux

Summary

Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the JavaScript programming language.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: nodejs (10.16.3).

Security Fix(es):

* HTTP/2: large amount of data requests leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-9511)

* HTTP/2: flood using PING frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9512)

* HTTP/2: flood using PRIORITY frames results in excessive resource consumption (CVE-2019-9513)

* HTTP/2: flood using HEADERS frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9514)

* HTTP/2: flood using SETTINGS frames results in unbounded memory growth (CVE-2019-9515)

* HTTP/2: 0-length headers lead to denial of service (CVE-2019-9516)

* HTTP/2: request for large response leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-9517)

* HTTP/2: flood using empty frames results in excessive resource consumption (CVE-2019-9518)

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to window size manipulation and stream prioritization manipulation, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker requests a large amount of data from a specified resource over multiple streams. They manip…

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to ping floods, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends continual pings to an HTTP/2 peer, causing the peer to build an internal queue of responses. Depending on how efficiently this data is qu…

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to resource loops, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker creates multiple request streams and continually shuffles the priority of the streams in a way that causes substantial churn to the priority…

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood, potentially leading to a denial of service

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a reset flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker opens a number of streams and sends an invalid request over each stream that should solicit a stream of RST_STREAM frames from the peer. Depe…

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service

    Some HTTP/2 implementations are vulnerable to a settings flood, potentially leading to a denial of service. The attacker sends a stream of SETTINGS frames to the peer. Since the RFC requires that the peer reply with one acknowledgement per SETTINGS frame, an …
