Description

This Red Hat security advisory addresses multiple vulnerabilities in Node.js 20 as packaged for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. The issues include insufficient randomness in the undici HTTP client library (CVE-2025-22150), exposure of Node.js worker threads via the diagnostics channel (CVE-2025-23083), and a memory leak caused by GOAWAY HTTP/2 frames (CVE-2025-23085). The update is rated as important by Red Hat Product Security. No CVSS scores are provided in the advisory. The vulnerabilities affect Node.js versions from 20.0.0 up to and including 20.18.2 as distributed by Red Hat. The advisory provides updated packages to address these issues.

Technical Analysis

The advisory covers three security fixes in Node.js 20 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. CVE-2025-22150 concerns the undici HTTP client library using insufficiently random values, which may impact cryptographic or security functions relying on randomness. CVE-2025-23083 involves exposure of Node.js worker threads through the diagnostics channel, potentially leaking sensitive runtime information. CVE-2025-23085 describes a memory leak outside the heap triggered by GOAWAY HTTP/2 frames, which could degrade service stability. Red Hat has released updated Node.js 20 packages to remediate these vulnerabilities. The advisory does not provide CVSS scores but rates the overall impact as important.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities could lead to weakened security guarantees due to insufficient randomness, potential information exposure via worker threads, and resource exhaustion or instability due to memory leaks. These issues affect Node.js applications running on affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 systems using Node.js 20. No known exploits in the wild are reported at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released updated Node.js 20 packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update as detailed in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:1443 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
