   An update that fixes 5 vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update for nodejs to version 4.4.5 fixes the several issues.

   These security issues introduced by the bundled openssl were fixed by
   going to version 1.0.2h:
   - CVE-2016-2107: The AES-NI implementation in OpenSSL did not consider
     memory allocation during a certain padding check, which allowed remote
     attackers to obtain sensitive cleartext information via a padding-oracle
     attack against an AES CBC session (bsc#977616).
   - CVE-2016-2105: Integer overflow in the EVP_EncodeUpdate function in
     crypto/evp/encode.c in OpenSSL allowed remote attackers to cause a
     denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a large amount of binary
     data (bsc#977614).
   - CVE-2016-0705: Double free vulnerability in the dsa_priv_decode function
     in crypto/dsa/dsa_ameth.c in OpenSSL allowed remote attackers to cause a
     denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other
     impact via a malformed DSA private key (bsc#968047).
   - CVE-2016-0797: Multiple integer overflows in OpenSSL allowed remote
     attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption or NULL
     pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
     long digit string that is mishandled by the (1) BN_dec2bn or (2)
     BN_hex2bn function, related to crypto/bn/bn.h and crypto/bn/bn_print.c
     (bsc#968048).
   - CVE-2016-0702: The MOD_EXP_CTIME_COPY_FROM_PREBUF function in
     crypto/bn/bn_exp.c in OpenSSL did not properly consider cache-bank
     access times during modular exponentiation, which made it easier for
     local users to discover RSA keys by running a crafted application on the
     same Intel Sandy Bridge CPU core as a victim and leveraging cache-bank
     conflicts, aka a "CacheBleed" attack (bsc#968050).

   These non-security issues were fixed:
   - Fix faulty "if" condition (string cannot equal a boolean).
   - buffer: Buffer no longer errors if you call lastIndexOf with a search
     term longer than the buffer.
   - contextify: Context objects are now properly garbage collected, this
     solves a problem some individuals were experiencing with extreme memory
     growth.
   - Update npm to 2.15.5.
   - http: Invalid status codes can no longer be sent. Limited to 3 digit
     numbers between 100 - 999.
   - deps: Fix --gdbjit for embedders. Backported from v8 upstream.
   - querystring: Restore throw when attempting to stringify bad surrogate
     pair.
   - https: Under certain conditions SSL sockets may have been causing a
     memory leak when keepalive is enabled. This is no longer the case.
   - 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.
   - 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.
   - deps: An update to v8 that introduces a new flag
     --perf_basic_prof_only_functions.
   - http: A new feature in http(s) agent that catches errors on keep alived
     connections.
   - src: Better support for big-endian systems.
   - tls: A new feature that allows you to pass common SSL options to
     tls.createSecurePair.
   - build: Support python path that includes spaces.
   - https: A potential fix for #3692 (HTTP/HTTPS client requests throwing
     EPROTO).
   - installer: More readable profiling information from isolate tick logs.
   - process: Add support for symbols in event emitters (symbols didn't exist
     when it was written).
   - querystring: querystring.parse() is now 13-22% faster!
   - streams: Performance improvements for moving small buffers that shows a
     5% throughput gain. IoT projects have been seen to be as much as 10%
     faster with this change!
