CVE-2015-9241
Certain input passed into the If-Modified-Since or Last-Modified headers will cause an 'illegal access' exception to be raised.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.10%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Certain input passed into the If-Modified-Since or Last-Modified headers will cause an 'illegal access' exception to be raised. Instead of sending a HTTP 500 error back to the sender, hapi node module before 11.1.3 will continue to hold the socket open until timed out (default node timeout is 2 minutes).
