Description

Node.js versions before 10.23.1, 12.20.1, 14.15.4, 15.5.1 allow two copies of a header field in an HTTP request (for example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields). In this case, Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-libhttp-parser2-7-1
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libnode-dev
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libnode64
  • ubuntu-upgrade-nodejs
  • ubuntu-upgrade-nodejs-dev
