Red Hat Security Advisory: nodejs:18 security update
This advisory addresses two security vulnerabilities in Node.js 18 as packaged by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. The first vulnerability (CVE-2025-22150) involves the undici HTTP client library using insufficiently random values, which can affect cryptographic strength. The second vulnerability (CVE-2025-23085) involves a memory leak caused by GOAWAY HTTP/2 frames occurring outside the heap. Red Hat has released an update to Node.js 18 to fix these issues. The update is rated as having a moderate security impact. No CVSS scores are provided in the advisory.

Technical Summary
The Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2025:1582 reports two vulnerabilities affecting Node.js 18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. CVE-2025-22150 concerns the undici HTTP client library using insufficiently random values, classified under CWE-330 (Use of Insufficiently Random Values). CVE-2025-23085 involves a memory leak triggered by GOAWAY HTTP/2 frames occurring outside the heap, classified under CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption). The advisory provides updated Node.js 18 packages (version 18.20.6) that address these vulnerabilities. The affected versions are Node.js 18 releases from 18.0.0 up to but not including 18.20.6. The advisory does not provide CVSS scores but rates the impact as moderate. There are no known exploits in the wild. The vendor provides detailed update instructions and package downloads via the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities could potentially weaken cryptographic operations due to insufficient randomness in the undici library and cause resource exhaustion or denial of service due to a memory leak triggered by malformed HTTP/2 GOAWAY frames. The impact is rated moderate by Red Hat. No active exploitation is known. Systems running affected Node.js 18 versions on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 are at risk until updated.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated Node.js 18 packages (version 18.20.6) that fix these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the official Red Hat update as described in the advisory (RHSA-2025:1582) and the linked article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258.
