VUL-0: CVE-2024-38355: nodejs-underscore: socket.io: unhandled 'error' event
Last modified: 2024-06-25 18:15:00 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1226965 +++ Socket.IO is an open source, real-time, bidirectional, event-based, communication framework. A specially crafted Socket.IO packet can trigger an uncaught exception on the Socket.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process. This issue is fixed by commit `15af22fc22` which has been included in `socket.io@4.6.2` (released in May 2023). The fix was backported in the 2.x branch as well with commit `d30630ba10`. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may attach a listener for the "error" event to catch these errors.
