Node.js reports :

Node.js was susceptible to a remote DoS attack due to a change that came in as part of zlib v1.2.9. In zlib v1.2.9 8 became an invalid value for the windowBits parameter and Node's zlib module will crash or throw an exception (depending on the version)

This update for nodejs4 fixes the following issues: Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2017-15896: Vulnerable to CVE-2017-3737 due to     embedded OpenSSL (bsc#1072322).

  - CVE-2017-14919: Embedded zlib issue could cause a DoS     via specific windowBits value.

  - CVE-2017-3738: Embedded OpenSSL is vulnerable to     rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64.

  - CVE-2017-3736: Embedded OpenSSL is vulnerable to     bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64 (bsc#1066242).

  - CVE-2017-3735: Embedded OpenSSL is vulnerable to     malformed X.509 IPAdressFamily that could cause OOB read     (bsc#1056058). Bug fixes :

# 2017-10-24, Version 6.11.5 'Boron' (LTS), @MylesBorins

This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/oct-2017-dos/ for details on patched vulnerabilities.

## Notable Changes

  - zlib :

  - CVE-2017-14919 - In zlib v1.2.9, a change was made that     causes an error to be raised when a raw deflate stream     is initialized with windowBits set to 8. On some     versions this crashes Node and you cannot recover from     it, while on some versions it throws an exception.
    Node.js will now gracefully set windowBits to 9     replicating the legacy behavior to avoid a DOS vector.
