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.

cluster: Add support for NODE_OPTIONS="--inspect"

crypto: Expose the public key of a certificate

n-api: Add napi_fatal_exception to trigger an uncaughtException in JavaScript

path: Fix regression in posix.normalize

stream: Improve stream creation performance
