Bug 554742 – <net-libs/nodejs-0.12.6, <net-libs/iojs-2.3.3: Unspecified vulnerability (CVE-2015-5380)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot 2015-07-13 12:48:13 UTC]

CVE-2015-5380 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-5380):
  The Utf8DecoderBase::WriteUtf16Slow function in unicode-decoder.cc in Google
  V8, as used in Node.js before 0.12.6, io.js before 1.8.3 and 2.x before
  2.3.3, and other products, does not verify that there is memory available
  for a UTF-16 surrogate pair, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial
  of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
  a crafted byte sequence.

For net-libs/iojs version in tree please advise if the current version in tree (non-stable) has the appropriate fixes

For net-libs/nodejs version 0.12.7 in tree. 

Maintainer(s), please advise if you when you are ready for stabilization or call for stabilization yourself.

[Comment 2 Johan Bergström 2015-07-14 00:24:21 UTC]

These versions are considered safe (regarding v8 utf8 - openssl not relevant since we build against a shared version):
net-libs/nodejs-0.12.6 and later (in tree)
net-libs/iojs-2.3.3 and later (in tree) 

I'm happy to stablereq. @patrick?

[Comment 3 Patrick Lauer 2015-07-16 23:54:09 UTC]

Stablereq sounds good to me

[Comment 4 Agostino Sarubbo 2015-07-17 07:44:32 UTC]

Arches, please test and mark stable:
=net-libs/nodejs-0.12.6
=net-libs/iojs-2.3.3
Target keywords : "amd64 x86"

[Comment 5 Agostino Sarubbo 2015-07-17 08:23:29 UTC]

I realized that they requires some unstable deps like:

>=dev-libs/libuv-1.6.1
>=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2c
>=net-libs/http-parser-2.5

[Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo 2015-07-17 10:55:33 UTC]

Let's sort a bit, we make a bit of confusion.

net-libs/iojs was never marked stable so maintainers can ask the stablereq in another bug different from this.

net-libs/nodejs-0.12.6 + dev-libs/libuv-1.4.2 is fine for repoman, so we have just one "Depends on" stablereq.

[Comment 7 Agostino Sarubbo 2015-07-30 09:57:24 UTC]

amd64 stable

[Comment 8 Agostino Sarubbo 2015-07-30 09:59:14 UTC]

x86 stable.

Maintainer(s), please cleanup.
Security, please vote.

Maintainers thank you for cleaning up: net-libs/iojs
Please clean up:   <net-libs/nodejs-0.12.6

[Comment 13 Daniel Robbins 2015-09-15 04:23:09 UTC]

According to the initial report of the vulnerability, this DOES NOT affect node.js 0.10.x at all. Quote from bottom of email:

"This vulnerability does not affect the 0.10.x series shipped in Fedora, EPEL, and all Red Hat products that I am aware of.  This is just a courtesy notice in case you all are using 0.12 or io.js anywhere."

See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1239332

It would make sense to add node-0.10.40 to the tree.

[Comment 14 Johan Bergström 2015-09-15 04:24:24 UTC]

I'd vote for having 0.10.40, 0.12.7 and 4.0.0 then purge the rest.
