SUSE-SU-2021:0062-1

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)

• New upstream LTS version 12.19.1:

  • deps: Denial of Service through DNS request (High). A Node.js application that allows an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a host of their choice could trigger a Denial of Service by getting the application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses (bsc#1178882, CVE-2020-8277)

• New upstream LTS version 12.19.0:

  • crypto: add randomInt function
  • deps:
    • upgrade to libuv 1.39.0
    • deps: upgrade npm to 6.14.7
    • deps: upgrade to libuv 1.38.1
  • doc: deprecate process.umask() with no arguments
  • module:
    • package 'imports' field
    • module: deprecate module.parent
  • n-api: create N-API version 7
  • zlib: switch to lazy init for zlib streams
