Hello,

Thanks for proposing a patch.

We usually don't publish a DLA for a single, minor CVE fix. In addition, we try to be consistent with the other dists in Debian, but this CVE isn't fixed in stable.

You seem to confuse stable (bookworm) and LTS (bullseye) in your e-mail. Please make sure you're targeting the right release.

Overall I would recommend to first discuss the situation with the package maintainers (Debian Javascript Team).

Cheers!

Dear Maintainer,

The package `node-ws` in Debian bookworm is affected by CVE-2024-37890, a 
denial-of-service vulnerability (uncaught TypeError in websocket-server.js when 
handling crafted HTTP requests). See:
   https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-37890
   
https://github.com/websockets/ws/commit/22c28763234aa75a7e1b76f5c01c181260d7917f

I have prepared a patch that backports the upstream fix to bookworm. The fixed 
package is versioned as:

   7.4.2+~cs18.0.8-3+deb11u1

The patch is attached as a debdiff against the current bookworm version. I have 
tested that the patched package no longer crashes with the provided PoC.

Please consider applying this patch to stable (bookworm).

Best regards,
Yang Wang
