title: Node v0.8.17 (Stable)
slug: node-v0-8-17-stable
category: release
version: 0.8.17

This release addresses a potential security vulnerability.

If you do not use TypedArrays, then you're fine (but should still
upgrade for other reasons, like better performance and npm
peerDependencies.)

If you use TypedArrays, you should upgrade to v0.8.17 as soon as
possible.  If user input can affect the size parameter in a
TypedArray, an integer overflow vulnerability could allow an attacker
to write to areas of memory outside the intended buffer.  Please
upgrade ASAP.

2012.01.09, Version 0.8.17 (Stable)

* npm: Upgrade to v1.2.0
  - peerDependencies (Domenic Denicola)
  - node-gyp v0.8.2 (Nathan Rajlich)

* typed arrays: fix 32 bit size/index overflow (Ben Noordhuis)

* http: Improve performance of single-packet responses (Ben Noordhuis)

* install: fix openbsd man page location (Ben Noordhuis)
