2016-06-032016-06-02, Version 6.2.1 (Current)Rod Vagg
* buffer: Ignore negative lengths in calls to Buffer() and Buffer.allocUnsafe(). This fixes a possible security concern (reported by Feross Aboukhadijeh) where user input is passed unchecked to the Buffer constructor or allocUnsafe() as it can expose parts of the memory slab used by other Buffers in the application. Note that negative lengths are not supported by the Buffer API and user input to the constructor should always be sanitised and type-checked. (Anna Henningsen) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7030 * npm: Upgrade npm to 3.9.3 (Kat Marchán) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7030 * tty: Default to blocking mode for stdio on OS X. A bug fix in libuv 1.9.0, introduced in Node.js v6.0.0, exposed problems with Node's use of non-blocking stdio, particularly on OS X which has a small output buffer. This change should fix CLI applications that have been having problems with output since Node.js v6.0.0 on OS X. The core team is continuing to address stdio concerns that exist across supported platforms and progress can be tracked at https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6980. (Jeremiah Senkpiel) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6895 * V8: Upgrade to V8 5.0.71.52. This includes a fix that addresses problems experienced by users of node-inspector since Node.js v6.0.0, see https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6980 for details.

2016-03-082016-03-08, Version 4.4.0 'Argon' (LTS)Myles Borins
In December we announced that we would be doing a minor release in order to get a number of voted on SEMVER-MINOR changes into LTS. Our ability to release this was delayed due to the unforeseen security release v4.3. We are quickly bumping to v4.4 in order to bring you the features that we had committed to releasing. This release also includes over 70 fixes to our docs and over 50 fixes to tests. The SEMVER-MINOR changes include: * deps: - An update to v8 that introduces a new flag --perf_basic_prof_only_functions (Ali Ijaz Sheikh) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3609 * http: - A new feature in http(s) agent that catches errors on *keep alived* connections (José F. Romaniello) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4482 * src: - Better support for Big-Endian systems (Bryon Leung) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3410 * tls: - A new feature that allows you to pass common SSL options to `tls.createSecurePair` (Коренберг Марк) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/2441 * tools - a new flag `--prof-process` which will execute the tick processor on the provided isolate files (Matt Loring) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4021 Notable semver patch changes include: * buld: - Support python path that includes spaces. This should be of particular interest to our Windows users who may have python living in `c:/Program Files` (Felix Becker) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4841 * https: - A potential fix for https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3692 HTTP/HTTPS client requests throwing EPROTO (Fedor Indutny) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4982 * installer: - More readable profiling information from isolate tick logs (Matt Loring) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3032 * *npm: - upgrade to npm 2.14.20 (Kat Marchán) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5510 * process: - Add support for symbols in event emitters.

2016-03-092016-03-08 Version 0.12.12 (LTS) ReleaseRod Vagg
Notable changes: * openssl: Fully remove SSLv2 support, the `--enable-ssl2` command line argument will now produce an error. The DROWN Attack (https://drownattack.com/) creates a vulnerability where SSLv2 is enabled by a server, even if a client connection is not using SSLv2. The SSLv2 protocol is widely considered unacceptably broken and should not be supported. More information is available at https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0800 Note that the upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1s in Node.js v0.12.11 removed internal SSLv2 support. The change in this release was originally intended for v0.12.11. The `--enable-ssl2` command line argument now produces an error rather than being a no-op.

Notable changes: * http_parser: Update to http-parser 1.2 to fix an unintentionally strict limitation of allowable header characters. (James M Snell) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5242 * domains: - Prevent an exit due to an exception being thrown rather than emitting an 'uncaughtException' event on the `process` object when no error handler is set on the domain within which an error is thrown and an 'uncaughtException' event listener is set on `process`. (Julien Gilli) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3887 - Fix an issue where the process would not abort in the proper function call if an error is thrown within a domain with no error handler and `--abort-on-uncaught-exception` is used.

It is likely to be very difficult to use this defect for a practical attack and is therefore considered low severity for Node.js users. More info is available at CVE-2016-0705 https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0705. - Fix a defect that can cause memory corruption in certain very rare cases relating to the internal `BN_hex2bn()` and `BN_dec2bn()` functions. It is believed that Node.js is not invoking the code paths that use these functions so practical attacks via Node.js using this defect are _unlikely_ to be possible. More info is available at CVE-2016-0797 https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0797. - Fix a defect that makes the _CacheBleed Atta https://ssrg.nicta.com.au/projects/TS/cachebleed/ _ possible. This defect enables attackers to execute side-channel attacks leading to the potential recovery of entire RSA private keys. It only affects the Intel Sandy Bridge (and possibly older) microarchitecture when using hyper-threading. Newer microarchitectures, including Haswell, are unaffected. More info is available at CVE-2016-0702 https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0702. PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5526
2016-02-242016-02-23, Version 5.7.0 (Stable)Rod Vagg
* buffer: - You can now supply an encoding argument when filling a Buffer Buffer#fill(string[, start[, end]][, encoding]), supplying an existing Buffer will also work with Buffer#fill(buffer[, start[, end]]). See the API documentation for details on how this works. (Trevor Norris) #4935 - Buffer#indexOf() no longer requires a byteOffset argument if you also wish to specify an encoding: Buffer#indexOf(val[, byteOffset][, encoding]). (Trevor Norris) #4803 * child_process: spawn() and spawnSync() now support a 'shell' option to allow for optional execution of the given command inside a shell. If set to true, cmd.exe will be used on Windows and /bin/sh elsewhere. A path to a custom shell can also be passed to override these defaults. On Windows, this option allows .bat. and .cmd files to be executed with spawn() and spawnSync(). (Colin Ihrig) #4598 * http_parser: Update to http-parser 2.6.2 to fix an unintentionally strict limitation of allowable header characters. (James M Snell) #5237 * dgram: socket.send() now supports accepts an array of Buffers or Strings as the first argument. See the API docs for details on how this works. (Matteo Collina) #4374 * http: Fix a bug where handling headers will mistakenly trigger an 'upgrade' event where the server is just advertising its protocols. This bug can prevent HTTP clients from communicating with HTTP/2 enabled servers. (Fedor Indutny) #4337 * net: Added a listening Boolean property to net and http servers to indicate whether the server is listening for connections. (José Moreira) #4743 * node: The C++ node::MakeCallback() API is now reentrant and calling it from inside another MakeCallback() call no longer causes the nextTick queue or Promises microtask queue to be processed out of order. (Trevor Norris) #4507 * tls: Add a new tlsSocket.getProtocol() method to get the negotiated TLS protocol version of the current connection. (Brian White) #4995 * vm: Introduce new 'produceCachedData' and 'cachedData' options to new vm.Script() to interact with V8's code cache. When a new vm.Script object is created with the 'produceCachedData' set to true a Buffer with V8's code cache data will be produced and stored in cachedData property of the returned object. This data in turn may be supplied back to another vm.Script() object with a 'cachedData' option if the supplied source is the same. Successfully executing a script from cached data can speed up instantiation time. See the API docs for details. (Fedor Indutny) #4777 * performance: Improvements in: - process.nextTick() (Ruben Bridgewater) #5092 - path module (Brian White) #5123 - querystring module (Brian White) #5012 - streams module when processing small chunks (Matteo Collina) #4354 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5295

This is an important security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at nodejs.org for details on patched vulnerabilities. Notable changes * http: fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow request smuggling (CVE-2016-2086) or response splitting (CVE-2016-2216). HTTP header parsing now aligns more closely with the HTTP spec including restricting the acceptable characters. * http-parser: upgrade from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 * npm: upgrade npm from 3.3.12 to 3.6.0 (Rebecca Turner) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/4958 * openssl: upgrade from 1.0.2e to 1.0.2f. To mitigate against the Logjam attack, TLS clients now reject Diffie-Hellman handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024-bits, up from the previous limit of 768-bits.
