Node v0.10.44 (Maintenance)

Rod Vagg

This is a security release, upgrading the bundled version of npm due to a credentials leak vulnerability. Further information can be found in our post: /blog/vulnerability/npm-tokens-leak-march-2016/

Please note that the version of npm included in this release does 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:

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. IMPORTANT: This is a major upgrade to npm v2 LTS from the previously deprecated npm v1. (Forrest L Norvell) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5967
openssl: OpenSSL v1.0.1s disables the EXPORT and LOW ciphers as they are obsolete and not considered safe. This release of Node.js turns on OPENSSL_NO_WEAK_SSL_CIPHERS to fully disable the 27 ciphers included in these lists which can be used in SSLv3 and higher. Full details can be found in our LTS discussion on the matter (https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/issues/85). (Shigeki Ohtsu) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5712
