Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Node.js 8.x/9.x/10.x (JavaScript Library). Affected is some unknown processing of the component node.js. The manipulation as part of a Object leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

All versions of Node.js 8.x, 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 server providing an http2 server to crash. This can be accomplished by interacting with the http2 server in a manner that triggers a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after they are no longer available. This has been addressed by updating the http2 implementation.

The bug was discovered 06/12/2018. The weakness was presented 06/13/2018 (Website). The advisory is available at nodejs.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2018-7161 since 02/15/2018. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication.
