Release notes

Package name: ws

• 7.5.1 - 2021-06-29
  

  Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the connection from being closed properly if an
    error occurred simultaneously on both peers (b434b9f).
• 7.5.0 - 2021-06-16
  

  Features

  • Some errors now have a code property describing the specific type of error
    that has occurred (#1901).

  Bug fixes

  • A close frame is now sent to the remote peer if an error (such as a data
    framing error) occurs (8806aa9).
  • The close code is now always 1006 if no close frame is received, even if the
    connection is closed due to an error (8806aa9).
• 7.4.6 - 2021-05-25
  

  Bug fixes

  • Fixed a ReDoS vulnerability (00c425e).

  A specially crafted value of the Sec-Websocket-Protocol header could be used
  to significantly slow down a ws server.

  for (const length of [1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 16000, 32000]) {
  const value = 'b' + ' '.repeat(length) + 'x';
  const start = process.hrtime.bigint();

  value.trim().split(/ , /);

  const end = process.hrtime.bigint();

  console.log('length = %d, time = %f ns', length, end - start);
  }

  The vulnerability was responsibly disclosed along with a fix in private by
  Robert McLaughlin from University of California, Santa Barbara.

  In vulnerable versions of ws, the issue can be mitigated by reducing the maximum
  allowed length of the request headers using the --max-http-header-size=size
  and/or the maxHeaderSize options.

• 7.4.5 - 2021-04-18
  

  Bug fixes

  • UTF-8 validation is now done even if utf-8-validate is not installed
    (23ba6b2).
  • Fixed an edge case where websocket.close() and websocket.terminate() did
    not close the connection (67e25ff).
• 7.4.4 - 2021-03-06
  

  Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug that could cause the process to crash when using the
    permessage-deflate extension (9277437).
• 7.4.3 - 2021-02-02
  

  Bug fixes

  • The deflate/inflate stream is now reset instead of reinitialized when context
    takeover is disabled (#1840).
• 7.4.2 - 2020-12-29
• 7.4.1 - 2020-12-04
• 7.4.0 - 2020-11-08
