Node.js < 10.9.0, < 8.11.4, < 6.14.4 OOB Write Vulnerability (Mac OS X)

The host is installed with Node.js and is prone to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability.

An OOB write in Buffer can be used to write to memory outside of a Buffer's memory space. This can corrupt unrelated Buffer objects or cause the Node.js process to crash. When used with UCS-2 encoding (recognized by Node.js under the names 'ucs2', 'ucs-2', 'utf16le' and 'utf-16le'), Buffer#write() can be abused to write outside of the bounds of a single Buffer. Writes that start from the second-to-last position of a buffer cause a miscalculation of the maximum length of the input bytes to be written.

Node.js versions 6.x prior to 6.14.4, 8.x prior to 8.11.4 and 10.x prior to 10.9.0.

Checks if a vulnerable version is present on the target host.

Upgrade to Node.js version 6.14.4, 8.11.4 or 10.9.0 respectively.
