    Update semver to mitigate DDoS

    Good morning, semver and npm are vulnerable to https://nodesecurity.io/advisories/semver_redos
    
    @stevengill @ilmaj @gorkem I couldn't find any place to disclose this issue in private, neither make this issue security sensitive. Let me know if you have questions.
    
    I think is important to get this fix in, once it also affects others.

    unfortunately, we are tied to npm 1.3.4 until we turn our plugins registry into read only. It requires 1.3.4 for publishing plugins.

    @stevengill no problem my friend. I just wanted to let you guys know about the issue. I'm closing it, in the future you guys can change/fix.
    
    Also make sure to run nsp against the project (https://github.com/nodesecurity/nsp). That helped me to find the issue.
