[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#863481: [node-concat-stream] Uninitialized Memory Exposure

[Bastien ROUCARIÈS]

Package: node-concat-stream
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch security fixed-upstream fixed-in-experimental

Overview

concat-stream is writable stream that concatenates strings or binary data and 
calls a callback with the result. Affected versions of the package are 
vulnerable to Uninitialized Memory Exposure.

A possible memory disclosure vulnerability exists when a value of type number 
is provided to the stringConcat() method and results in concatination of 
uninitialized memory to the stream collection.

This is a result of unobstructed use of the Buffer constructor, whose insecure 
default constructor increases the odds of memory leakage.
