CVE-2018-7162: Node.js

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 6.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

All versions of Node.js 9.x and 10.x are vulnerable and the severity is HIGH. An attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by causing a node process which provides an http server supporting TLS server to crash. This can be accomplished by sending duplicate/unexpected messages during the handshake. This vulnerability has been addressed by updating the TLS implementation.

Affected products

• Node.js Node.js: from 9.0.0, before 9.11.2 (fixed in 9.11.2); from 10.0.0, before 10.4.1 (fixed in 10.4.1)
