Description Srikanth Balasubramanian 2026-10-23 15:37:12 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

A flaw was found in Node.js. The callback- and promise-based dns.resolve APIs did not reject hostnames containing an embedded NUL character. Because c-ares treats the name as a C string, a name such as example.com\0.trusted.corp is truncated to example.com, so the resolver returns records for an unintended hostname.

Comment 1 Jan Staněk 2026-11-03 11:26:40 UTC
This vulnerability is fixed in the latest available release of nodejs24-24.22.1.
