Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-11-11 18:21:17 UTC
A one-byte heap buffer overflow in Node.js HTTP/2 Alt-Svc handling lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker corrupt process memory. When an application passes an attacker-controlled value such as a request's :authority header to Http2Session.altsvc(), the AltSvc implementation in src/node_http2.cc allocates a buffer sized to the origin length and then writes it with a null terminator, placing one byte past the end of the allocation. A single request carrying a long but syntactically valid :authority triggers the out-of-bounds write, which aborts the process and serves as a remote heap-corruption primitive. This vulnerability affects Node.js 26.x and 24.x.
