RedHat: RHSA-2016-1380:01 Moderate: nodejs010-node-gyp and
Summary
Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable
network applications in the JavaScript programming language.
Security Fix(es):
* The nodejs-qs module has the ability to create sparse arrays during
parsing. By specifying a high index in a querystring parameter it is
possible to create a large array that will eventually take up all the
allocated memory of the running process, resulting in a crash.
(CVE-2014-7191)
Bug Fix(es):
* A previous patch to the nodejs010-node-gyp RPM package introduced a bug,
which caused the node-gyp module to work incorrectly. As a consequence,
users were unable to install or build native Node.js modules. A new patch
has been applied, the node-gyp module now works as expected, and it no
longer affects other modules. (BZ#1255594)
All nodejs010-nodejs-qs and nodejs010-node-gyp users are advised to upgrade
to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this
issue.
