From 068cede663f94f3b7aba11271378b335d337e86e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Myles Borins Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2017 03:48:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] 2017-10-24, Version 4.8.5 'Argon' (Maintenance) This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/oct-2017-dos/ for details on patched vulnerabilities. Notable Changes: * zlib: - CVE-2017-14919 - In zlib v1.2.9, a change was made that causes an error to be raised when a raw deflate stream is initialized with windowBits set to 8. On some versions this crashes Node and you cannot recover from it, while on some versions it throws an exception. Node.js will now gracefully set windowBits to 9 replicating the legacy behavior to avoid a DOS vector. https://github.com/nodejs-private/node-private/pull/95 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs-private/node-private/pull/96 --- CHANGELOG.md | 3 ++- doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V4.md | 15 +++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 7c296bd6d35..b895855c9cc 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -93,7 +93,8 @@ release. 6.0.0
