Update Information:
# 2017-10-24, Version 6.11.5 'Boron' (LTS), @MylesBorins This is a security
release. All Node.js users should consult the security release summary at
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/oct-2017-dos/ for details on patched
vulnerabilities. ## Notable Changes * zlib: * CVE-2017-14919 - In zlib
v1.2.9, a change was made that causes an error to be raised when a raw deflate
stream is initialized with windowBits set to 8. On some versions this crashes
Node and you cannot recover from it, while on some versions it throws an
exception. Node.js will now gracefully set windowBits to 9 replicating the
legacy behavior to avoid a DOS vector. nodejs-private/node-private#95
