This is a security release.

Notable Changes

• CVE-2021-22930: Use after free on close http2 on stream canceling (High)
  • Node.js is vulnerable to a use after free attack where an attacker might be able to exploit the memory corruption, to change process behavior. You can read more about it in https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-22930
