FreeBSD: VID-972ba0e8-8b8a-11ec-b369-6c3be5272acd (CVE-2021-44533): Node.js -- January 2022 Security Releases

Node.js less than 12.22.9, less than 14.18.3, less than 16.13.2, and less than 17.3.1 did not handle multi-value Relative Distinguished Names correctly. Attackers could craft certificate subjects containing a single-value Relative Distinguished Name that would be interpreted as a multi-value Relative Distinguished Name, for example, in order to inject a Common Name that would allow bypassing the certificate subject verification.Affected versions of Node.js that do not accept multi-value Relative Distinguished Names and are thus not vulnerable to such attacks themselves. However, third-party code that uses node's ambiguous presentation of certificate subjects may be vulnerable.
