Node v0.10.42 (LTS)

By James M Snell, Feb 09, 2016

This is an important security release. For full details see https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/february-2016-security-releases/ 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 1.0 to 1.1
openssl: upgrade from 1.0.1q to 1.0.1r. 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.
src:
- introduce new --security-revert={cvenum} command line flag for selective reversion of specific CVE fixes
- allow the fix for CVE-2016-2216 to be selectively reverted using --security-revert=CVE-2016-2216
build:
- xz compressed tar files will be made available from nodejs.org for v0.10 builds from v0.10.42 onward
- A headers.tar.gz file will be made available from nodejs.org for v0.10 builds from v0.10.42 onward, a future change to node-gyp will be required to make use of these
