Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-142

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-142
Posted Mar 30, 2015
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-142 - A memory corruption vulnerability, which results in a denial-of-service, was identified in the versions of V8 that ship with Node.js 0.8 and 0.10. In certain circumstances, a particularly deep recursive workload that may trigger a GC and receive an interrupt may overflow the stack and result in a segmentation fault. For instance, if your work load involves successive JSON.parse calls and the parsed objects are significantly deep, you may experience the process aborting while parsing. Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google V8 before 3.24.35.10, as used in Node.js before 0.10.31, allow attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors. The nodejs package has been updated to version 0.10.33 to fix these issues as well as several other bugs.

Package : nodejs

Affected: Business Server 2.0

Problem Description:

Updated nodejs package fixes security vulnerabilities:

A memory corruption vulnerability, which results in a
denial-of-service, was identified in the versions of V8 that ship with
Node.js 0.8 and 0.10. In certain circumstances, a particularly deep
recursive workload that may trigger a GC and receive an interrupt may
overflow the stack and result in a segmentation fault. For instance,
if your work load involves successive JSON.parse calls and the parsed
objects are significantly deep, you may experience the process aborting
while parsing (CVE-2014-5256).

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google V8 before 3.24.35.10,
as used in Node.js before 0.10.31, allow attackers to cause a
denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors
(CVE-2013-6668).

The nodejs package has been updated to version 0.10.33 to fix these
issues as well as several other bugs.
