A buffer over-read vulnerability exists in bl <4.0.3, <3.0.1, <2.2.1, and <1.2.3 which could allow an attacker to supply user input (even typed) that if it ends up in consume() argument and can become negative, the BufferList state can be corrupted, tricking it into exposing uninitialized memory via regular .slice() calls.

A flaw was found Go's net/http package. Servers using ReverseProxy from net/http in the Go standard library are vulnerable to a data race that results in a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

A flaw was found in the Go encoding/binary package. Certain invalid inputs to the ReadUvarint or the ReadVarint causes those functions to read an unlimited number of bytes from the ByteReader argument before returning an error. This flaw possibly leads to processing more input than expected. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

Impact Node Fetch did not honor the size option after following a redirect, which means that when a content size was over the limit, a FetchError would never get thrown and the process would end without failure.

For most people, this fix will have a little or no impact. However, if you are relying on node-fetch to gate files above a size, the impact could be significant, for example: If you don't double-check the size of the data after fetch() has completed, your JS thread could get tied up doing work on a large file (DoS) and/or cost you money in computing.

Patches We released patched versions for both stable and beta channels:

- For v2: 2.6.1 - For v3: 3.0.0-beta.9

Workarounds None, it is strongly recommended to update as soon as possible.

IBM Security Guardium Insights 2.0.1 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information when a detailed technical error message is returned in the browser. This information could be used in further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 174402.

A flaw was found in the Go standard library packages before upstream versions 1.15 and 1.14.8. Both the net/http/cgi and net/http/fcgi packages use a default Content-Type response header value of "text/html", rather than "text/plain". This flaw allows an attacker to exploit this issue in applications using these packages by uploading crafted files, allowing a Cross-site Scripting attack (XSS). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

OpenSSH is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by an observable discrepancy flaw. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a man-in-the-middle attack and gain access to the communication channel between endpoints to obtain sensitive information or further compromise the system.

Go could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper validation on the VerifyOptions.KeyUsages EKU requirements during the X.509 certificate verification. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to the system.

IBM Security Guardium Insights 2.0.2 stores user credentials in plain in clear text which can be read by a local user. IBM X-Force ID: 184836.

IBM Security Guardium Insights 2.0.2 stores user credentials in plain in clear text which can be read by a local privileged user. IBM X-Force ID: 184861.

IBM Security Guardium Insights 2.0.2 does not set the secure attribute on authorization tokens or session cookies. Attackers may be able to get the cookie values by sending a http:// link to a user or by planting this link in a site the user goes to. The cookie will be sent to the insecure link and the attacker can then obtain the cookie value by snooping the traffic. IBM X-Force ID: 184822.
