Prior to 1.4.1, the affected implementation used forge.tls.createConnection(), TLS record processing, process() to process the relevant input or security decision. node-forge processed received TLS records recursively, consuming one JavaScript stack frame per record in a single input chunk. A remote peer could send thousands of small records together and exhaust the call stack, causing an uncaught exception and denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.1.</p> <p>Forge (also called node-forge) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript.

A peer can send one chunk of thousands of small records, such as heartbeat records, which are accepted before the handshake, and `process()` throws `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`, which terminates Node.js processes that use the documented socket wiring. Fixed in node-forge 1.4.1.</p> <p>### Details</p> <p>In `lib/tls.js`, `c.process()` reads one record and passes it to `_update()`, which calls the handler for the record type from `ctTable`. Every handler (`tls.handleHeartbeat`, `tls.handleApplicationData`, `tls.handleHandshake` for fragmented messages, `tls.handleHelloRequest` and the other handshake handlers) ends by calling `c.process()` again to continue with the next buffered record, or the next message in the same record. Each record therefore adds `process` → `_update` → handler to the call stack. In Node.js 24, about 2,300 eight-byte records (under 20 KB) in one chunk are enough for `process()` to throw `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`.</p> <p>`ctTable` maps heartbeat records to `tls.handleHeartbeat` in every client and server state, so heartbeat records are processed before the handshake without any extension negotiation. The attack needs no authentication and no valid handshake messages. Both server connections (attacked by a client) and client connections (attacked by the server they connect to) are affected.
