2021-01-04, Version 14.15.4 'Fermium' (LTS)

This is a security release.

Notable changes:

Vulnerabilities fixed:

- **CVE-2020-1971**: OpenSSL - EDIPARTYNAME NULL pointer de-reference
  (High)
  - This is a vulnerability in OpenSSL which may be exploited through
  Node.js. You can read more about it in
  https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20201208.txt

- **CVE-2020-8265**: use-after-free in TLSWrap (High)
  - Affected Node.js versions are vulnerable to a use-after-free bug in
  its TLS implementation. When writing to a TLS enabled socket,
  node::StreamBase::Write calls node::TLSWrap::DoWrite with a freshly
  allocated WriteWrap object as first argument. If the DoWrite method
  does not return an error, this object is passed back to the caller as
  part of a StreamWriteResult structure. This may be exploited to
  corrupt memory leading to a Denial of Service or potentially other
  exploits.

- **CVE-2020-8287**: HTTP Request Smuggling in nodejs (Low)
  - Affected versions of Node.js allow two copies of a header field in
  a http request. For example, two Transfer-Encoding header fields. In
  this case Node.js identifies the first header field and ignores the
  second. This can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling
  (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/444.html).
