Release notes
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:
- CVE-2018-7158
- CVE-2018-7159
- CVE-2018-7160
Notable Changes
- Upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2o: Does not contain any security fixes that are known to impact Node.js.
- Fix for inspector DNS rebinding vulnerability (CVE-2018-7160): A malicious website could use a DNS rebinding attack to trick a web browser to bypass same-origin-policy checks and allow HTTP connections to localhost or to hosts on the local network, potentially to an open inspector port as a debugger, therefore gaining full code execution access. The inspector now only allows connections that have a browser Host value of localhost or localhost6.
- Fix for 'path' module regular expression denial of service (CVE-2018-7158): A regular expression used for parsing POSIX 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.
