Package: nodejs
Version: 8.10.0~dfsg-2
Severity: important

This bug was initially reported downstream against Ubuntu in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nodejs/+bug/1779863 by the upstream GRPC maintainer.

Summary of the issue: upstream nodejs vendors its openssl dependency and exports the openssl symbols as part of its ABI for native extensions. Node 8.x depends on openssl 1.0.2. However, Node 8.x in Debian depends on the default openssl, version 1.1.0. As a result, the Debian nodejs package provides an incompatible ABI for compiled native node extensions, resulting in subtle and confusing bugs for end users.

Note that Ubuntu is using an unpatched upstream Debian package in Bionic/18.04. Hence, this bug really affects the Debian build, not just Ubuntu. IMO we should not diverge from the ABI contract that upstream provides. Typical nodejs development practices involve downloading dependencies with npm, which may include precompiled native dependencies that rely on a stable node ABI. It is very confusing for end users to install a system nodejs, download these deps as normal, and then encounter subtle incompatibilities with scary error messages, like this:

node: symbol lookup error: /home/pixel/node-openssl-addon-example/build/Release/openssl_example.node: undefined symbol: SSL_library_init

This seriously impacts the user experience for nodejs users. And I'm worried that because this is an openssl 1.0.x issue, this problem is even uglier. I imagine nodejs vendored upstream openssl, which lacks symbol versions altogether (which could potentially mitigate the issue a little bit, for systems that have both openssl version .so's installed).

Ubuntu Bionic will need to patch their builddeps downstream to use the right version of openssl, and I'm going to comment on their bug along those lines. This is also an option for us in Debian, but given that we want to drop openssl 1.0.2 in buster, I'd suggest we could also fix this bug by upgrading node to 10.x, available in experimental, which depends on openssl 1.1.0 upstream.

Closes: 901297 901474 904274 905415 905886
Changes:
 nodejs (10.12.0~dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * New upstream version 10.11.0~dfsg
   * openssl: use bundled copy because node is not compatible
     with openssl 1.1.1 right now (and there is no upstream fix).
     On the plus side:
     + this avoids ABI breakage for C++ addons (Closes: #904274)
     + upstream have security support for openssl vulns
     On the down side, it's a policy 4.13 violation.
   * copyright:
     + no longer exclude marked since it is removed
     + drop paragraph for pthread-barrier.h
   * Multiarch and DFHS:
     + patch adding --node-relative-path configuration variable
     + "/usr/lib/<$DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH>/nodejs" for c++ addons
     + "/usr/share/nodejs" for pure javascript modules
     + "/usr/lib/nodejs" for smooth migration of current modules
     + Expose those configuration variables in
       process.config.variables.node_relative_path
       process.config.variables.arch_triplet
     + In particular, if prefix is /usr/local all paths move there.
     + Fix test expecting lib/node, should be lib/nodejs.
     (Closes: #901474)
   * Build using shared libuv1 again (Closes: #905415)
   * Standards-Version 4.2.1
   * Add support for mips64r6el arch (Closes: #905886)
   * Drop libnodeXX-dev in favor of libnode-dev (Closes: #901297)
   * Patch tools/doc to restore old dependencies on marked,
     while waiting for remarked/rehyped modules to be available.
   * sequential/test-http2-session-timeout is a flaky test
   * Add lintian override for test/fixtures/assert-long-line.js,
     false source-is-missing positive.
   * Build using LANG=C
   * Stop excluding tools/gyp because upstream patches it
   * Tighten dependency on nghttp2 >= 1.34.0
