Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:142
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : nodejs
Date : March 29, 2015
Affected: Business Server 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated nodejs package fixes security vulnerabilities:
A memory corruption vulnerability, which results in a
denial-of-service, was identified in the versions of V8 that ship with
Node.js 0.8 and 0.10. In certain circumstances, a particularly deep
recursive workload that may trigger a GC and receive an interrupt may
overflow the stack and result in a segmentation fault. For instance,
if your work load involves successive JSON.parse calls and the parsed
objects are significantly deep, you may experience the process aborting
while parsing (CVE-2014-5256).
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Google V8 before 3.24.35.10,
as used in Node.js before 0.10.31, allow attackers to cause a
denial of service or possibly have other impact via unknown vectors
(CVE-2013-6668).
The nodejs package has been updated to version 0.10.33 to fix these
issues as well as several other bugs.
