Update Information:
Update ---- # 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. nodejs-private/node-private#95 ----
