Node v4.4.2 (LTS)

Myles Borins

This release includes a security update for npm. For more details you can read this post on our blog written by Forrest L Norvell from npm.

Update: The version of npm included in this release did not have the correct version string. As such executing npm -v will report 2.15.0 rather than 2.15.1, which is incorrect. The source code included in this release is in fact the source for 2.15.1, including the security fix.

Notable Changes

https:
- Under certain conditions ssl sockets may have been causing a memory leak when keepalive is enabled. This is no longer the case. (Alexander Penev) #5713
lib:
- The way that we were internally passing arguments was causing a potential leak. By copying the arguments into an array we can avoid this. (Nathan Woltman) #4361
npm:
- Upgrade to v2.15.1. Fixes a security flaw in the use of authentication tokens in HTTP requests that would allow an attacker to set up a server that could collect tokens from users of the command-line interface. Authentication tokens have previously been sent with every request made by the CLI for logged-in users, regardless of the destination of the request. This update fixes this by only including those tokens for requests made against the registry or registries used for the current install. (Forrest L Norvell)
repl:
- Previously if you were using the repl in strict mode the column number would be wrong in a stack trace. This is no longer an issue. (Prince J Wesley) #5416
