Description
The nodejs release lines 15.x, 14.x, 12.x and 10.x are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in its TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket, node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other exploits. The issue is fixed in nodejs versions 15.5.1, 14.15.4, 12.20.1 and 10.23.1.
