CVE-2018-7159

Опубликовано: 08 мар. 2018
Источник: redhat
CVSS3: 5.3

Описание

The HTTP parser in all current versions of Node.js ignores spaces in the Content-Length header, allowing input such as Content-Length: 1 2 to be interpreted as having a value of 12. The HTTP specification does not allow for spaces in the Content-Length value and the Node.js HTTP parser has been brought into line on this particular difference. The security risk of this flaw to Node.js users is considered to be VERY LOW as it is difficult, and may be impossible, to craft an attack that makes use of this flaw in a way that could not already be achieved by supplying an incorrect value for Content-Length. Vulnerabilities may exist in user-code that make incorrect assumptions about the potential accuracy of this value compared to the actual length of the data supplied. Node.js users crafting lower-level HTTP utilities are advised to re-check the length of any input supplied after parsing is complete.

It was found that the http module from Node.js could accept incorrect Content-Length values, containing spaces within the value, in HTTP headers. A specially crafted client could use this flaw to possibly confuse the script, causing unspecified behavior.
