{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-22025","details":"A vulnerability in Node.js has been identified, allowing for a Denial of Service (DoS) attack through resource exhaustion when using the fetch() function to retrieve content from an untrusted URL. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the fetch() function in Node.js always decodes Brotli, making it possible for an attacker to cause resource exhaustion when fetching content from an untrusted URL. An attacker controlling the URL passed into fetch() can exploit this vulnerability to exhaust memory, potentially leading to process termination, depending on the system configuration.","modified":"2025-10-24T05:06:51Z","published":"2024-03-19T05:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-22025"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-22025"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v18.19.1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/f31d47e135973746c4f490d5eb635eded8bb3dda"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/9052ef43dc2d1b0db340591a9bc9e45a25c01d90"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-22025"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy/trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.10.15~dfsg1-4","0.10.21~dfsg1-1","0.10.22~dfsg1-2","0.10.23~dfsg1-1","0.10.23~dfsg1-2","0.10.23~dfsg1-3","0.10.24~dfsg1-1","0.10.25~dfsg2-2","0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1","0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2","0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm1","0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm2","binary_name":"nodejs"},{"binary_version":"0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm2","binary_name":"nodejs-dev"},{"binary_version":"0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1.2+esm2","binary_name":"nodejs-legacy"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-22025.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm3?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1","4.2.2~dfsg-1","4.2.3~dfsg-1","4.2.4~dfsg-1ubuntu1","4.2.4~dfsg-2","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu1","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.1","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm1","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm2","4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm3","binary_name":"nodejs"},{"binary_version":"4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm3","binary_name":"nodejs-dev"},{"binary_version":"4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4.2+esm3","binary_name":"nodejs-legacy"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-22025.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm6?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["6.11.4~dfsg-1ubuntu1","6.11.4~dfsg-1ubuntu2","6.12.0~dfsg-1ubuntu1","6.12.0~dfsg-2ubuntu1","6.12.0~dfsg-2ubuntu2","8.10.0~dfsg-2","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.2","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.3","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm1","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm2","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm3","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm4","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm5","8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm6","binary_name":"nodejs"},{"binary_version":"8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4+esm6","binary_name":"nodejs-dev"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-22025.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.6+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["10.15.2~dfsg-2ubuntu1","10.17.0~dfsg-2ubuntu4","10.17.0~dfsg-2ubuntu6","10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1","10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.1","10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.2","10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.3","10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.5","10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.6","10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.6+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.6+esm2","binary_name":"libnode-dev"},{"binary_version":"10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.6+esm2","binary_name":"libnode64"},{"binary_version":"10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1.6+esm2","binary_name":"nodejs"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-22025.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nodejs","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/nodejs@12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6+esm2?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["12.22.5~dfsg-5ubuntu1","12.22.7~dfsg-2ubuntu1","12.22.7~dfsg-2ubuntu3","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu2","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.1","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.2","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.3","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.4","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6","12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6+esm2","binary_name":"libnode-dev"},{"binary_version":"12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6+esm2","binary_name":"libnode72"},{"binary_version":"12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3.6+esm2","binary_name":"node
