Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'nodejs' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2016-0080 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A request smuggling vulnerability was found in Node.js that can be
exploited under certain unspecified circumstances (CVE-2016-2086).

It was reported that HTTP header parsing in Node.js is vulnerable to
response splitting attacks. While Node.js has been protecting against
response splitting attacks by checking for CRLF characters, it is possible
to compose response headers using Unicode characters that decompose to
these characters, bypassing the checks previously in place
(CVE-2016-2216).

Affected Software/OS:
'nodejs' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
