Description

Remote Memory Exposure in request Affected versions of request will disclose local system memory to remote systems in certain circumstances. When a multipart request is made, and the type of body is number, then a buffer of that size will be allocated and sent to the remote server as the body.

Proof of Concept

var request = require('request');
var http = require('http');

var serveFunction = function (req, res){
	req.on('data', function (data) {
            console.log(data)
        });
	res.end();...
