2021-01-04, Version 12.20.1 'Erbium' (LTS)

Notable changes:

This is a security release.

Vulnerabilities fixed:

- CVE-2020-8265: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High)
Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in
its 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
- CVE-2020-8287: HTTP Request Smuggling in nodejs
Affected versions of Node.js 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).
- CVE-2020-1971: OpenSSL - EDIPARTYNAME NULL pointer de-reference (High)
This is a vulnerability in OpenSSL which may be exploited through Node.js.
