DEBIAN-CVE-2026-123874: Use After Free

Published Nov 11, 2026

Updated

A use-after-free in Node.js HTTP/2 lets an unauthenticated client corrupt server memory, over both TLS and cleartext, when the server serves files with respondWithFile() or respondWithFD(). A client can make the server free an Http2Stream while a write request that points to it is still queued on the socket; when that write completes, the code dereferences and makes a virtual call through the freed object. The only precondition is that the application serves a file with stream.respondWithFile() or stream.respondWithFD(), with default settings otherwise. This vulnerability affects Node.js 26.x (since 26.9.0) and 24.x (since 24.22.0).
