2018-11-27, Version 6.15.0 'Boron' (LTS)

This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the security
release summary at:

  https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/november-2018-security-releases/

for details on patched vulnerabilities.

Fixes for the following CVEs are included in this release:

  * Node.js: Debugger port 5858 listens on any interface by default
    (CVE-2018-12120)
  * Node.js: Denial of Service with large HTTP headers (CVE-2018-12121)
  * Node.js: Slowloris HTTP Denial of Service (CVE-2018-12122 / Node.js)
  * Node.js: Hostname spoofing in URL parser for javascript protocol
    (CVE-2018-12123)
  * Node.js: HTTP request splitting (CVE-2018-12116)
  * OpenSSL: Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation (CVE-2018-0734)
  * OpenSSL: Microarchitecture timing vulnerability in ECC scalar multiplication
    (CVE-2018-5407)

Notable Changes:

* debugger: Backport of https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/8106 to
  prevent the debugger from listening on `0.0.0.0`. It now defaults to
  `127.0.0.1`. Reported by Ben Noordhuis. (CVE-2018-12120 / Ben Noordhuis).
* deps: Upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2q, fixing CVE-2018-0734 and CVE-2018-5407
* http:
  * Headers received by HTTP servers must not exceed 8192 bytes in total to
    prevent possible Denial of Service attacks. Reported by Trevor Norris.
    (CVE-2018-12121 / Matteo Collina)
  * A timeout of 40 seconds now applies to servers receiving HTTP headers. This
    value can be adjusted with `server.headersTimeout`. Where headers are not
    completely received within this period, the socket is destroyed on the next
    received chunk. In conjunction with `server.setTimeout()`, this aids in
    protecting against excessive resource retention and possible Denial of
    Service. Reported by Jan Maybach (liebdich.com).
    (CVE-2018-12122 / Matteo Collina)
  * Two-byte characters are now strictly disallowed for the `path` option in
    HTTP client requests. Paths containing characters outside of the range
    `\u0021` - `\u00ff` will now be rejected with a `TypeError`. This behavior
    can be reverted if necessary by supplying the
    `--security-revert=CVE-2018-12116` command line argument (this is not
    recommended). Reported as security concern for Node.js 6 and 8 by
    Arkadiy Tetelman (lob.com), fixed by backporting a change by Benno
    Fünfstück applied to Node.js 10 and later.
    (CVE-2018-12116 / Matteo Collina)
* url: Fix a bug that would allow a hostname being spoofed when parsing
  URLs with `url.parse()` with the `'javascript:'` protocol. Reported by
  Martin Bajanik (kenticocloud.com). (CVE-2018-12123 / Matteo Collina)
