CWE-400

Description

Node.js versions 9.7.0 and later and 10.x are vulnerable and the severity is MEDIUM. A bug introduced in 9.7.0 increases the memory consumed when reading from the network into JavaScript using the net.Socket object directly as a stream. An attacker could use this cause a denial of service by sending tiny chunks of data in short succession. This vulnerability was restored by reverting to the prior behaviour.

Affected configurations

• nodejs node.js (>= 9.7.0 < 9.11.2) • nodejs node.js (>= 10.0.0 < 10.4.1)
