A vulnerability was found in NodeJS due to the llhttp parser in the http module not strictly using the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. This issue can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). This flaw allows an attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers, causing web cache poisoning, and conducting XSS attacks.

The Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Protocol allows remote attackers (from the client side) to send arbitrary numbers that are actually not public keys, and trigger expensive server-side DHE modular-exponentiation calculations, aka a D(HE)at or D(HE)ater attack. The client needs very little CPU resources and network bandwidth. The attack may be more disruptive in cases where a client can require a server to select its largest supported key size. The basic attack scenario is that the client must claim that it can only communicate with DHE, and the server must be configured to allow DHE.
