==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Node.js.

Software Description:
- nodejs: An open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment.

Details:

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of invalid public
keys while creating an x509 certificate. If a user or an automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-30588)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly handled the use of CRLF sequences to
delimit HTTP requests. If a user or an automated system were tricked into
opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to obtain unauthorised access. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2023-30589)

It was discovered that Node.js incorrectly described the generateKeys()
function in the documentation. This inconsistency could possibly lead to
security issues in applications that use these APIs.
(CVE-2023-30590)
