Uncaught exception in engine.io

An uncaught exception vulnerability was introduced in version 5.1.0 and included in version 4.1.0 of the socket.io parent package. Older versions are not impacted. A specially crafted HTTP request can trigger an uncaught exception on the Engine.IO server, thus killing the Node.js process.
