Severity High

Affected Packages 12

CVEs 3

Several security issues were fixed in Node.js.

Morgan Jones discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs that
leads to false positive errors during some cryptographic operations. If a user
or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input
file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-23919)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs leaded to a
untrusted search path vulnerability. If a user or an automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to perform a privilege escalation. (CVE-2023-23920)

Matt Caswell discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled certain inputs with
specially crafted ASN.1 object identifiers or data containing them. If a user
or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input
file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-2650)
