An update that fixes three vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

This update for nodejs14 fixes the following issues:

– New upstream LTS version 14.15.4:
* CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High) bug in TLS
implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket,
node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly
allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method
does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as
part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to
corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other
exploits (bsc#1180553)
* CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling allow two copies of a header
field in a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header
fields. In this case Node.js identifies the first header field and
ignores the second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling
(https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html). (bsc#1180554)

– New upstream LTS version 14.15.3:
* deps:
+ upgrade npm to 6.14.9
+ update acorn to v8.0.4
* http2: check write not scheduled in scope destructor
* stream: fix regression on duplex end

– New upstream LTS version 14.15.1:
* deps: Denial of Service through DNS request (High). A Node.js
application that allows an attacker to trigger a DNS request for a
host of their choice could trigger a Denial of Service by getting the
application to resolve a DNS record with a larger number of responses
(bsc#1178882, CVE-2020-8277)
