{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-2229","details":"ImpactThe undici WebSocket client is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack due to improper validation of the server_max_window_bits parameter in the permessage-deflate extension. When a WebSocket client connects to a server, it automatically advertises support for permessage-deflate compression. A malicious server can respond with an out-of-range server_max_window_bits value (outside zlib's valid range of 8-15). When the server subsequently sends a compressed frame, the client attempts to create a zlib InflateRaw instance with the invalid windowBits value, causing a synchronous RangeError exception that is not caught, resulting in immediate process termination.  The vulnerability exists because:    *  The isValidClientWindowBits() function only validates that the value contains ASCII digits, not that it falls within the valid range 8-15   *  The createInflateRaw() call is not wrapped in a try-catch block   *  The resulting exception propagates up through the call stack and crashes the Node.js process","modified":"2026-09-05T08:47:35.599088554Z","published":"2026-03-12T21:16:25.573Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-2229"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-2229"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"node-undici","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-undici?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u1","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u2","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u3","5.15.0+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.3-1+deb12u4","5.19.1+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.5-1","5.19.1+dfsg1+~cs20.10.9.5-2","5.22.1+dfsg1+~cs20.10.10.2-1","5.26.3+dfsg1+~cs23.10.12-1","5.26.3+dfsg1+~cs23.10.12-2","5.26.3+dfsg1+~cs23.10.12-3","5.28.0+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-1","5.28.0+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-2","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-1","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-2","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-3","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-4","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-5","5.28.2+dfsg1+~cs23.11.12.3-6","5.28.4+dfsg1+~cs23.12.11-1","5.28.4+dfsg1+~cs23.12.11-2","7.1.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.10-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.18.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.2.3+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.2.3+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2","7.24.5+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","8.9.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-2229.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-undici","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-undici?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.18.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.5+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.24.6+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","8.5.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","8.9.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-2229.json"}},{"package":{"name":"node-undici","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/node-undici?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"7.24.5+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1"}]}],"versions":["7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.15.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-3","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.16.0+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-2","7.18.2+dfsg+~cs3.2.0-1","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-1","7.3.0+dfsg1+~cs24.12.11-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-2229.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
