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.

* 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).

PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5967
Notable changes:
* openssl: Fully remove SSLv2 support, the `--enable-ssl2` command
line argument will now produce an error. The DROWN Attack
(https://drownattack.com/) creates a vulnerability where SSLv2 is
enabled by a server, even if a client connection is not using SSLv2.
The SSLv2 protocol is widely considered unacceptably broken and
should not be supported. More information is available at
https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0800
Note that the upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1s in Node.js v0.12.11 removed
internal SSLv2 support. The change in this release was originally
intended for v0.12.11. The `--enable-ssl2` command line argument now
produces an error rather than being a no-op.
Notable changes:
* http_parser: Update to http-parser 2.3.2 to fix an unintentionally
strict limitation of allowable header characters.
(James M Snell) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5241
* domains:
- Prevent an exit due to an exception being thrown rather than
emitting an 'uncaughtException' event on the `process` object when
no error handler is set on the domain within which an error is
thrown and an 'uncaughtException' event listener is set on
`process`. (Julien Gilli) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/3885
- Fix an issue where the process would not abort in the proper
function call if an error is thrown within a domain with no error
handler and `--abort-on-uncaught-exception` is used.

* openssl: Upgrade from 1.0.2f to 1.0.2g
(Ben Noordhuis) https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5509
- Fix a double-free defect in parsing malformed DSA keys that may
potentially be used for DoS or memory corruption attacks. It is
likely to be very difficult to use this defect for a practical
attack and is therefore considered low severity for Node.js users.
More info is available at
https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0705
- Fix a defect that can cause memory corruption in certain very rare
cases relating to the internal `BN_hex2bn()` and `BN_dec2bn()`
functions. It is believed that Node.js is not invoking the code
paths that use these functions so practical attacks via Node.js
using this defect are _unlikely_ to be possible. More info is
available at
https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0797
- Fix a defect that makes the CacheBleed Attack
(https://ssrg.nicta.com.au/projects/TS/cachebleed/) possible. This
defect enables attackers to execute side-channel attacks leading
to the potential recovery of entire RSA private keys. It only
affects the Intel Sandy Bridge (and possibly older)
microarchitecture when using hyper-threading. Newer
microarchitectures, including Haswell, are unaffected. More info
is available at
https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html#2016-0702
This is an important security release. All Node.js users should
consult the security release summary at nodejs.org for details on
patched vulnerabilities.
Notable changes:
* http: fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses
that can allow request smuggling (CVE-2016-2086) or response
splitting (CVE-2016-2216). HTTP header parsing now aligns more
closely with the HTTP spec including restricting the acceptable
characters.
* http-parser: upgrade from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1
* openssl: upgrade from 1.0.1q to 1.0.1r. To mitigate against the
Logjam attack, TLS clients now reject Diffie-Hellman handshakes with
parameters shorter than 1024-bits, up from the previous limit of
768-bits.
* src:
- introduce new `--security-revert={cvenum}` command line flag for
selective reversion of specific CVE fixes
- allow the fix for CVE-2016-2216 to be selectively reverted using
`--security-revert=CVE-2016-2216`
* build:
- xz compressed tar files will be made available from nodejs.org for
v0.12 builds from v0.12.10 onward
- A headers.tar.gz file will be made available from nodejs.org for
v0.12 builds from v0.12.10 onward, a future change to node-gyp
will be required to make use of these

This is a behavior change, by default we will not allow the negotiation to
SSLv2 or SSLv3. If you want this behavior, run Node.js with either
`--enable-ssl2` or `--enable-ssl3` respectively.
This does not change the behavior for users specifically requesting
`SSLv2_method` or `SSLv3_method`. While this behavior is not advised, it is
assumed you know what you're doing since you're specifically asking to use
these methods.

character. To restore the old functionality simply have NODE_INVALID_UTF8
