Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: nodejs010-nodejs security update

Notes

Topic
Updated nodejs010-nodejs packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Software Collections 1. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Details
Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the JavaScript programming language. A denial of service flaw was found in the way Node.js handled pipelined HTTP requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send an excessive amount of HTTP requests over a network connection, causing Node.js to use an excessive amount of memory and possibly exit when all available memory is exhausted. (CVE-2013-4450) Node.js is included in Red Hat Software Collections 1.0 as a Technology Preview. More information about Red Hat Technology Previews is available here: https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/ All nodejs010-nodejs users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
