Description
This update brings the new upstream nodejs LTS version 4.6.0, fixing bugs and security issues :
- Nodejs embedded openssl version update
+ upgrade to 1.0.2j (CVE-2016-6304, CVE-2016-2183, CVE-2016-2178, CVE-2016-6306, CVE-2016-7052)

- tls: properly validate wildcard certificates (CVE-2016-7099, bsc#1001652)
