This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/march-2018-security-releases/ for details on patched vulnerabilities.

Fixes for the following CVEs are included in this release:

Notable Changes

  • Upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2o: Does not contain any security fixes that are known to impact Node.js.
  • Fix for 'path' module regular expression denial of service (CVE-2018-7158): A regular expression used for parsing POSIX an Windows paths could be used to cause a denial of service if an attacker were able to have a specially crafted path string passed through one of the impacted 'path' module functions.
  • Reject spaces in HTTP Content-Length header values (CVE-2018-7159): The Node.js HTTP parser allowed for spaces inside Content-Length header values. Such values now lead to rejected connections in the same way as non-numeric values.
  • Update root certificates: 5 additional root certificates have been added to the Node.js binary and 30 have been removed.
