2016-09-27 Version 0.12.16 (Maintenance) Release 

This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the
security release summary at
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/september-2016-security-releases/
for details on patched vulnerabilities.

Notable changes:

* buffer: Zero-fill excess bytes in new `Buffer` objects created with
  `Buffer.concat()` while providing a `totalLength` parameter that
  exceeds the total length of the original `Buffer` objects being
  concatenated. (Сковорода Никита Андреевич)
* http:
  - CVE-2016-5325 - Properly validate for allowable characters in the
    `reason` argument in `ServerResponse#writeHead()`. Fixes a
    possible response splitting attack vector. This introduces a new
    case where `throw` may occur when configuring HTTP responses,
    users should already be adopting try/catch here. Originally
    reported independently by Evan Lucas and Romain Gaucher.
    (Evan Lucas)
  - Invalid status codes can no longer be sent. Limited to 3 digit
    numbers between 100 - 999. Lack of proper validation may also
    serve as a potential response splitting attack vector. Backported
    from v4.x. (Brian White)
* openssl:
  - Upgrade to 1.0.1u, fixes a number of defects impacting Node.js:
    CVE-2016-6304 ("OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory
    growth", high severity), CVE-2016-2183, CVE-2016-6303,
    CVE-2016-2178 and CVE-2016-6306.
  - Remove support for loading dynamic third-party engine modules.
    An attacker may be able to hide malicious code to be inserted
    into Node.js at runtime by masquerading as one of the dynamic
    engine modules. Originally reported by Ahmed Zaki (Skype).
    (Ben Noordhuis, Rod Vagg)
* tls: CVE-2016-7099 - Fix invalid wildcard certificate validation
  check whereby a TLS server may be able to serve an invalid wildcard
  certificate for its hostname due to improper validation of `*.` in
  the wildcard string. Originally reported by Alexander Minozhenko
  and James Bunton (Atlassian). (Ben Noordhuis)
