This is a security release. All Node.js users should consult the
security release summary at
https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2017-security-releases/
for details on patched vulnerabilities.

* **build**:
  - Disable V8 snapshots - The hashseed embedded in the snapshot is
    currently the same for all runs of the binary. This opens node up to
collision attacks which could result in a Denial of Service. We have
temporarily disabled snapshots until a more robust solution is found
(Ali Ijaz Sheikh)
* **deps**:
  - CVE-2017-1000381 - The c-ares function ares_parse_naptr_reply(),
    which is used for parsing NAPTR responses, could be triggered to
read memory outside of the given input buffer if the passed in DNS
response packet was crafted in a particular way. This patch checks that
there is enough data for the required elements of an NAPTR record (2
int16, 3 bytes for string lengths) before processing a record. (David
Drysdale)
