This update for nodejs4 and nodejs6 fixes the following issues:
Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2017-1000381: The c-ares function     ares_parse_naptr_reply() 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.
    (bsc#1044946)

  - CVE-2017-11499: 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. (bsc#1048299) Non-security fixes :

  - GCC 7 compilation fixes for v8 backported and add     missing ICU59 headers (bsc#1041282)
