Summary
Moderate: nodejs security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Details
Node.js is a software development platform for building fast and scalable network applications in the JavaScript programming language.
The package has been upgraded to a later upstream version: nodejs (16.20.1). (BZ#2223334, BZ#2223336, BZ#2223338, BZ#2223340, BZ#2223342, BZ#2223344)
Security Fix(es):
- nodejs: mainModule.proto bypass experimental policy mechanism (CVE-2023-30581)
- nodejs: process interuption due to invalid Public Key information in x509 certificates (CVE-2023-30588)
- nodejs: HTTP Request Smuggling via Empty headers separated by CR (CVE-2023-30589)
- nodejs: DiffieHellman do not generate keys after setting a private key (CVE-2023-30590)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

CVE-2023-30588 (GCVE-0-2023-30588)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-11-28 19:15 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:48
VLAI?
EPSS
Summary
When an invalid public key is used to create an x509 certificate using the crypto.X509Certificate() API a non-expect termination occurs making it susceptible to DoS attacks when the attacker could force interruptions of application processing, as the process terminates when accessing public key info of provided certificates from user code. The current context of the users will be gone, and that will cause a DoS scenario. This vulnerability affects all active Node.js versions v16, v18, and, v20.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.

CVE-2023-30589 (GCVE-0-2023-30589)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-06-30 23:39 – Updated: 2025-11-04 16:10
VLAI?
EPSS
Summary
The llhttp parser in the http module in Node v20.2.0 does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS).
The CR character (without LF) is sufficient to delimit HTTP header fields in the llhttp parser. According to RFC7230 section 3, only the CRLF sequence should delimit each header-field. This impacts all Node.js active versions: v16, v18, and, v20
Severity ?

CVE-2023-30590 (GCVE-0-2023-30590)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-11-28 19:15 – Updated: 2025-11-04 16:10
VLAI?
EPSS
Summary
The generateKeys() API function returned from crypto.createDiffieHellman() only generates missing (or outdated) keys, that is, it only generates a private key if none has been set yet, but the function is also needed to compute the corresponding public key after calling setPrivateKey(). However, the documentation says this API call: "Generates private and public Diffie-Hellman key values".
The documented behavior is very different from the actual behavior, and this difference could easily lead to security issues in applications that use these APIs as the DiffieHellman may be used as the basis for application-level security, implications are consequently broad.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
