### Notable changes

- **buffer**: Ignore negative lengths in calls to `Buffer()` and `Buffer.allocUnsafe()`. This fixes a possible security concern (reported by Feross Aboukhadijeh) where user input is passed unchecked to the Buffer constructor or `allocUnsafe()` as it can expose parts of the memory slab used by other Buffers in the application. Note that negative lengths are not supported by the Buffer API and user input to the constructor should always be sanitised and type-checked. (Anna Henningsen) [#7051](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7051)
- **npm**: Upgrade npm to 3.9.3 (Kat Marchán) [#7030](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7030)
  - [`npm/npm@42d71be`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/42d71be2cec674dd9e860ad414f53184f667620d) [npm/npm#12685](https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/12685) When using `npm ls <pkg>` without a semver specifier, `npm ls` would skip any packages in your tree that matched by name, but had a prerelease version in their `package.json`. ([@zkat](https://github.com/zkat))
  - [`npm/npm@f04e05`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/df04e05af1f257a1903372e1baf334c0969fbdbd) [npm/npm#10013](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/10013) `read-package-tree@5.1.4`: Fixes an issue where `npm install` would fail if your `node_modules` was symlinked. ([@iarna](https://github.com/iarna))
  - [`b894413`](https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/b8944139a935680c4a267468bb2d3c3082b5609f) [#12372](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/12372) Changing a nested dependency in an `npm-shrinkwrap.json` and then running `npm install` would not get up the updated package. This corrects that. ([@misterbyrne](https://github.com/misterbyrne))
  - This release includes `npm@3.9.0`, which is the result of our Windows testing push -- the test suite (should) pass on Windows now. We're working on getting AppVeyor to a place where we can just rely on it like Travis.
- **tty**: Default to blocking mode for stdio on OS X. A bug fix in libuv 1.9.0, introduced in Node.js 6.0.0, exposed problems with Node's use of non-blocking stdio, particularly on OS X which has a small output buffer. This change should fix CLI applications that have been having problems with output since Node.js 6.0.0 on OS X. The core team is continuing to address stdio concerns that exist across supported platforms and progress can be tracked at <https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6980>. (Jeremiah Senkpiel) [#6895](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6895)
- **V8**: Upgrade to V8 5.0.71.52. This includes a fix that addresses problems experienced by users of node-inspector since Node.js 6.0.0, see <https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector/issues/864> for details. (Michaël Zasso) [#6928](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6928)
