CVE-2018-7161

HIGH

Node.js 8.0.0-8.8.0, 8.9.0-8.11.2, 10.x - Denial of Service via HTTP/2 Cleanup Bug

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

All versions of Node.js 8.x, 9.x, and 10.x are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node server providing an http2 server to crash. This can be accomplished by interacting with the http2 server in a manner that triggers a cleanup bug where objects are used in native code after they are no longer available. This has been addressed by updating the http2 implementation.
