# Summary | ||
|
||
Project zero has recently announced some new attacks that have received a | ||
lot of attention: | ||
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.ca/2018/01/reading-privileged-memory-with-side.html. | ||
|
||
The risk from these attacks to systems running Node.js resides in the | ||
systems in which your Node.js applications run, as opposed to the | ||
Node.js runtime itself. The trust model for Node.js assumes you are | ||
running trusted code and does not provide any separation between code | ||
running within the runtime itself. Therefore, untrusted code that | ||
would be necessary to execute these attacks in Node.js could already | ||
affect the execution of your Node.js applications in ways that | ||
are more severe than possible through these new attacks. | ||
|
||
This does not mean that you don't need to protect yourself from | ||
these new attacks when running Node.js applications. If an attacker | ||
manages to run malicious code on an upatched OS (whether using | ||
JavaScript or something else) they may be able to access memory and or | ||
data that they should not have access to. In order to protect yourself | ||
from these cases, apply the security patches for your operating | ||
system. You do not need to update the Node.js runtime. | ||
|
||
# Contact and future updates | ||
|
||
The current Node.js security policy can be found at https://nodejs.org/en/security/. | ||
|
||
Please contact security@nodejs.org if you wish to report a vulnerability in Node.js. | ||
|
||
Subscribe to the low-volume announcement-only nodejs-sec mailing list at | ||
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nodejs-sec to stay up to date | ||
on security vulnerabilities and security-related releases of Node.js and | ||
the projects maintained in the [nodejs GitHub organisation](https://github.com/nodejs/). |

@hashseed I'm not sure what all links/patches are available for OS's so far. Maybe that is something we can add in later on.
