This is a security release.
Notable changes:
Improper handling of URI Subject Alternative Names (Medium)(CVE-2021-44531)
- Accepting arbitrary Subject Alternative Name (SAN) types, unless a PKI
is specifically defined to use a particular SAN type, can result in
bypassing name-constrained intermediates. Node.js was accepting URI SAN
types, which PKIs are often not defined to use. Additionally, when a
protocol allows URI SANs, Node.js did not match the URI correctly.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this disable the URI SAN type when
checking a certificate against a hostname. This behavior can be
reverted through the `--security-revert` command-line option.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44531
Certificate Verification Bypass via String Injection (Medium)(CVE-2021-44532)
- Node.js converts SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format.
It uses this string to check peer certificates against hostnames when
validating connections. The string format was subject to an injection
vulnerability when name constraints were used within a certificate
chain, allowing the bypass of these name constraints.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this escape SANs containing the
problematic characters in order to prevent the injection. This
behavior can be reverted through the `--security-revert` command-line
option.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44532
Incorrect handling of certificate subject and issuer fields (Medium)(CVE-2021-44533)
- Node.js did not handle multi-value Relative Distinguished Names
correctly. Attackers could craft certificate subjects containing a
single-value Relative Distinguished Name that would be interpreted as a
multi-value Relative Distinguished Name, for example, in order to inject
a Common Name that would allow bypassing the certificate subject
verification.
- Affected versions of Node.js do not accept multi-value Relative
Distinguished Names and are thus not vulnerable to such attacks
themselves. However, third-party code that uses node's ambiguous
presentation of certificate subjects may be vulnerable.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-44533
Prototype pollution via `console.table` properties (Low)(CVE-2022-21824)
- Due to the formatting logic of the `console.table()` function it was
not safe to allow user controlled input to be passed to the `properties`
parameter while simultaneously passing a plain object with at least one
property as the first parameter, which could be `__proto__`. The
prototype pollution has very limited control, in that it only allows an
empty string to be assigned numerical keys of the object prototype.
- Versions of Node.js with the fix for this use a null protoype for the
object these properties are being assigned to.
- More details will be available at
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-21824

Notable changes:
This release marks the transition of Node.js 16.x into Long Term Support (LTS)
with the codename 'Gallium'. The 16.x release line now moves into "Active LTS"
and will remain so until October 2022. After that time, it will move into
"Maintenance" until end of life in April 2024.

Notable changes:
Fixed distribution for native addon builds
This release fixes an issue introduced in Node.js v17.0.0, where some V8
headers were missing from the distributed tarball, making it impossible
to build native addons. These headers are now included.

Fixed stream issues
* Fixed a regression in `stream.promises.pipeline`, which was introduced
in version 16.10.0, is fixed. It is now possible again to pass an
array of streams to the function.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/40193
* Fixed a bug in `stream.Duplex.from`, which didn't work properly when
an async generator function was passed to it.

Notable Changes:
Experimental ESM Loader Hooks API:
Node.js ESM Loader hooks have been consolidated to represent the steps involved needed to facilitate future loader chaining:
1. `resolve`: `resolve` [+ `getFormat`]
2. `load`: `getFormat` + `getSource` + `transformSource`
For consistency, `getGlobalPreloadCode` has been renamed to `globalPreload`.
A loader exporting obsolete hook(s) will trigger a single deprecation warning (per loader) listing the errant hooks.
