I can reproduce with above. :-(

cjihrig · 2017-05-17T22:12:22Z

Simple fix is to add ctx->init_done_ = true; before this line. I don't think it's a good fix though because an unhelpful Init error error is emitted before an error handler can be added.

XadillaX · 2017-05-18T09:59:49Z

Finally I found this in src/node_zlib.cc

switch (ctx->mode_) {
  case DEFLATE:
  case GZIP:
  case DEFLATERAW:
    ctx->err_ = deflateInit2(&ctx->strm_,
                             ctx->level_,
                             Z_DEFLATED,
                             ctx->windowBits_,
                             ctx->memLevel_,
                             ctx->strategy_);
    ctx->env()->isolate()
        ->AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory(kDeflateContextSize);
    break;
  case INFLATE:
  case GUNZIP:
  case INFLATERAW:
  case UNZIP:
    ctx->err_ = inflateInit2(&ctx->strm_, ctx->windowBits_);
    ctx->env()->isolate()
        ->AdjustAmountOfExternalAllocatedMemory(kInflateContextSize);
    break;
  default:
    CHECK(0 && "wtf?");
}

if (ctx->err_ != Z_OK) {
  ZCtx::Error(ctx, "Init error");
}

This bug is because deflateInit2 returned -2 (Z_STREAM_ERROR).

The main reason behind this commit is fixing the Node process crashing when zlib rejects the given options. Besides that issue, which got reported and which is linked to this commit, it turned out that Node also used to crash when a non-numeric value was passed as the `windowBits` or the `memLevel` option. This was fixed somewhat inadvertently; initially it was just a stylistic change to avoid lines spanning longer than 80 characters that was written in a manner consistent with surrounding code. Fixes: nodejs#13082

This commit fixes the Node process crashing when constructors of classes of the zlib module are given invalid options. * Throw an Error when the zlib library rejects the value of windowBits, instead of crashing with an assertion. * Treat windowBits and memLevel options consistently with other ones and don't crash when non-numeric values are given. * Fix bugs in the validation logic: - Don't conflate 0 and undefined when checking if a field of an options object exists. - Treat NaN and Infinity values the same way as values of invalid types instead of allowing to actually set zlib options to NaN or Infinity.

This is a partial backport of semver-patch bits of 9e4660b. This commit fixes the Node process crashing when constructors of classes of the zlib module are given invalid options. * Throw an Error when the zlib library rejects the value of windowBits, instead of crashing with an assertion. * Treat windowBits and memLevel options consistently with other ones and don't crash when non-numeric values are given.
