Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2024-27982: Important priority package update for nodejs20 (Multiple Advisories)

The team has identified a critical vulnerability in the http server of the most recent version of Node, where malformed headers can lead to HTTP request smuggling. Specifically, if a space is placed before a content-length header, it is not interpreted correctly, enabling attackers to smuggle in a second request within the body of the first.
An HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability was found in Node.js due to Content-Length Obfuscation in the HTTP server. Malformed headers, particularly if a space is inserted before a content-length header, can result in HTTP request smuggling. This flaw allows attackers to inject a second request within the body of the first and poison web caches, bypass web application firewalls, and execute Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
