What does this PR do?

Points WEBKIT_VERSION at the preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#500 (autobuild-preview-pr-500-345e73d9). That branch is the current pin (ceb9f90fb774) plus one commit, so nothing else changes. After the WebKit PR merges, the pin can move to the merged sha.

The fuzzer found that this script kills the process:

const v2 = Buffer([1.352921824773455e+308, 1.7976931348623157e+308, -0.009117254943397768]);
("DELETE").padEnd(1073741824).localeCompare(v2);

String.prototype.localeCompare and Intl.Collator.prototype.compare end in IntlCollator::compareStrings(). When none of the ASCII fast paths apply (here the buffer's string form is 16-bit), it falls back to ucol_strcoll() and calls StringView::upconvertedCharacters() on both operands. For a Latin-1 string of 2^30 or more characters, the Vector<char16_t> behind that call is past isValidCapacityForVector<char16_t>, and allocateBuffer<FailureAction::Crash> hits CRASH() (Vector.h:228). A string of that length is valid (JSString::MaxLength is INT32_MAX), and a 16-bit operand of the same length compares fine.

The WebKit change checks each 8-bit operand against that capacity before the fallback and throws RangeError: Out of memory, the same way String.prototype.normalize() already handles an input of that size. The fast paths are untouched: two huge ASCII strings still compare without an allocation.

How did you verify your code works?

  • The fuzzer script and the reduced repro above now exit with RangeError: Out of memory on the debug ASAN build. Before, abort().
  • New test in test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts: localeCompare in both argument positions, the default Intl.Collator, and a collator with options (no UCA DUCET fast path), each against a 2^30-character Latin-1 string and a 16-bit string. Two more cases use two 8-bit operands with the "en" collator and a NUL string: NUL has no UCA DUCET weight, so the fast path returns nullopt and the same fallback runs. That is the shape of a second fuzzer script (Buffer.from(new ArrayBuffer(1129537122)).latin1Slice(0, 1129537122).localeCompare()). The test fails on the previous build (panic(main thread): abort() called) and passes with this one in 1.4 s under debug ASAN. Every second operand makes the fast paths return at the first character, so nothing scans the 1 GiB string.
  • Checked that the fallback still works for normal sizes ("é".localeCompare("あ"), mixed 8-bit/16-bit sorts, sensitivity: "base"), that two 2^30-character ASCII strings still compare through the fast path, and that a 2^30-character 16-bit operand still compares.
  • The WebKit PR adds JSTests/stress/intl-collator-compare-huge-latin1-string.js for the same cases.

Status: the automated review found nothing to change. CI build #104358 is running.

Two things for the maintainer who lands this:

  1. IntlCollator: throw an OutOfMemoryError instead of crashing when a huge Latin-1 string needs the UTF-16 upconversion WebKit#500 is the JSC change. It is based on the current pin (aea1f010b697), so the preview build autobuild-preview-pr-500-e173d7f6 carries only that one commit.
  2. GitHub deletes the preview release when the WebKit PR merges. After the merge, set WEBKIT_VERSION in scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts to the merged sha before this PR lands.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The test is solid (subprocess isolation for the crash case, drains all pipes, asserts the specific RangeError: Out of memory for all four entry points), and prebuiltUrl/prebuiltDestDir already handle the autobuild- tag form. Because this pins WEBKIT_VERSION to a preview build of an as-yet-unmerged WebKit PR, a human sign-off on shipping against that pin (vs. waiting for the merged sha) would still be worthwhile.

Also checked: the "a".repeat(2**30) in the child script is fine — it runs in the spawned bun-under-test, not the debug-JSC test harness, and produces the Latin-1 rope the test needs.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files: a one-line WEBKIT_VERSION bump in scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts from sha aea1f010b697… to the preview tag autobuild-preview-pr-500-e173d7f6, and a new subprocess test in test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts covering localeCompare / Intl.Collator#compare on a 2^30-char Latin-1 string against a 16-bit operand. The actual fix lives in oven-sh/WebKit#500; this repo only re-pins and adds the regression test.

Security risks

None identified. No user-facing API surface changes here; the WebKit-side change (per the description) adds a capacity check before upconvertedCharacters() and throws RangeError: Out of memory, converting a reachable CRASH() into a catchable error. That is strictly a DoS reduction.

Level of scrutiny

The Bun-side diff is mechanically simple, but the effective change is a WebKit engine bump — the most load-bearing dependency in the tree — and it points at a preview build of an unmerged upstream PR. The build scripts already special-case autobuild--prefixed versions (prebuiltUrl reuses the tag as-is; prebuiltDestDir strips the prefix for the cache key), so the mechanics are fine. What I can't verify from this repo is the content of the WebKit commit itself, and whether pinning main to a preview tag (vs. waiting for the merged sha) is the intended workflow. That's a maintainer call.

Other factors

  • The test follows harness conventions closely: await using on the spawn, Promise.all over stdout/stderr/exited, asserts stderr and stdout content before exit code, exercises both argument positions and both the default and options-bearing Intl.Collator (so the non-DUCET path is covered).
  • A finder flagged "a".repeat(2**30) vs. the Buffer.alloc(n, fill).toString() convention; ruled out because the repeat runs inside the spawned child (the bun being tested), not in the debug-JSC harness process the convention targets, and it needs to be a Latin-1 string.
  • No prior reviews or comments on the timeline.

On the one open point from the review, the preview pin: it is there so CI builds and tests against the JSC fix now. It is not meant to be merged as is. The plan is the one in the comment above: once oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges, move WEBKIT_VERSION to the merged sha, then land this PR. No other change is needed for that, the tag form and the sha form go through the same prebuiltUrl path.

The review on the WebKit side (oven-sh/WebKit#500) also found nothing to change. CI build #104358 is still running (20 passed, 153 running).

CI result for 6cc55688 (build #104358): 180 of 181 jobs passed. The new test passed on every lane.

The one failed job is alpine 3.23 aarch64. test/cli/test/test-changed.test.ts core dumped there when pthread_create was refused inside a spawned bun test --watch (RELEASE_ASSERT in Thread::create, Threading.cpp:330, reached from the GC helper pool). That job never ran intl.test.ts, and the failing test ran 11th in the sequential section, so this change did not cause it. It is the condition oven-sh/WebKit#489 is meant to survive. I reported it for main-break triage. The other failures in that build passed on retry or when run alone.

Build #104370 is the one retrigger, running now.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Deferring to a human because this is a WebKit version bump pinned to a preview build (autobuild-preview-pr-500-e173d7f6) that, per the thread, is not meant to merge as-is — a maintainer needs to land oven-sh/WebKit#500 first and swap the pin to the merged sha.

What was reviewed

  • prebuiltUrl / prebuiltDestDir handle the autobuild- prefix on the tag form, so the preview pin resolves the same way a sha does.
  • The new test spawns a subprocess, drains stdout/stderr/exited concurrently, and asserts the exact RangeError: Out of memory string across all four entry points (both localeCompare argument positions, default Intl.Collator, and a collator with options).
  • Checked that the 2^30-char .repeat() runs in the child, not the test process; PR reports 1.4 s under debug ASAN.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files touched: scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts swaps WEBKIT_VERSION from a pinned sha to a preview-build tag for oven-sh/WebKit#500, and test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts gains a subprocess regression test asserting that localeCompare / Intl.Collator#compare on a 2^30-char Latin-1 string against a 16-bit operand throws RangeError: Out of memory instead of hitting CRASH() in WTF's Vector::allocateBuffer. The actual fix lives in the WebKit fork; nothing in this repo's native code changes.

Security risks

None. The change converts an uncatchable process abort into a catchable RangeError on oversized input — strictly a DoS-hardening improvement. No new attack surface.

Level of scrutiny

High — not because the diff is complex (it's a one-line version pin plus a well-structured test), but because:

  • WebKit bumps change the JS engine for every user; even a single-commit bump warrants a maintainer confirming the upstream diff.
  • The pin targets a preview release that GitHub deletes when the WebKit PR merges. The PR thread explicitly states it "is not meant to be merged as is" and that a maintainer must swap to the merged sha before landing. Auto-approving would risk merging a pin that will 404 for anyone building later.
  • This requires cross-repo coordination (merge oven-sh/WebKit#500 → update pin → land here) that only a human maintainer can sequence.

Other factors

The test itself follows harness conventions cleanly: await using on the spawn, Promise.all over stdout/stderr/exited, exact-value assertions in the right order (stderr → stdout → exitCode), and covers the variant matrix (both argument positions × both collator entry points). The "a".repeat(2 ** 30) allocation happens in the child process so a failure surfaces as a non-zero exit rather than taking down the test runner. No prior claude[bot] review exists on this PR.

Final CI state. Both builds ran 181 jobs and each had exactly one failed job, neither related to this change:

Both are reported for main-break triage. Every other failure in both builds passed on retry or when run alone. The new test passed on every lane in both builds.

Nothing is left to do on this branch until oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges. At that point, change WEBKIT_VERSION in scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts from autobuild-preview-pr-500-e173d7f6 to the merged sha. A comment here also works, I can make that edit.

Rebased on main (861e9ae04b). The conflict was the one line this PR changes: main moved WEBKIT_VERSION to c148a12dd82b (#40201, the bytecode cache work).

Resolution:

  1. Rebased the WebKit branch of IntlCollator: throw an OutOfMemoryError instead of crashing when a huge Latin-1 string needs the UTF-16 upconversion WebKit#500 onto c148a12dd82b, which is oven-sh/WebKit main. Same one commit, now 59d0abdc.
  2. WEBKIT_VERSION here is now autobuild-preview-pr-500-59d0abdc: main's pin plus that one commit.
  3. Dropped the empty ci: retrigger commit. The branch is a single commit again, a2eb0e3b30.

Verified on the rebuilt debug ASAN binary (process.versions.webkit reports preview-pr-500-59d0abdc): the fuzzer script exits with RangeError: Out of memory, and test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts passes, 42 of 42.

The failed job is debian 13 x64-asan: test/cli/run/require-cache.test.ts, the via import() leak check, timed out at 30 s. CI marks it as also failing on main, and it has no connection to localeCompare. Reported for main-break triage. Every other failure in the build passed on retry or when run alone.

No further change planned here until oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges. Then WEBKIT_VERSION moves from autobuild-preview-pr-500-59d0abdc to the merged sha.

Rebased on main again (11fb73032c). Same one-line conflict: main moved WEBKIT_VERSION to cb61607f1a4b with the upstream WebKit upgrade (#40276).

Resolution:

  1. Rebased the branch of IntlCollator: throw an OutOfMemoryError instead of crashing when a huge Latin-1 string needs the UTF-16 upconversion WebKit#500 onto cb61607f1a4b (oven-sh/WebKit main). Same one commit, now dddf09e6. The IntlCollator.cpp blob is byte-identical to the previous version (88c191a9cc), the upgrade did not touch that function.
  2. WEBKIT_VERSION here is now autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6: main's pin plus that one commit.
  3. The branch is a single commit, ec7792fecf.

Verified on the rebuilt debug ASAN binary (process.versions.webkit reports preview-pr-500-dddf09e6): the fuzzer script exits with RangeError: Out of memory, and test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts passes, 42 of 42. CI for this head is build #105601.

Each WebKit bump on main needs a new preview build and a rebase here. Merging oven-sh/WebKit#500 ends that loop.

🔴 WEBKIT_VERSION is still the ephemeral preview tag autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6. Per the landing plan in this PR's own timeline, GitHub deletes the preview release when oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges, so landing with this value will make prebuiltUrl() 404 on every fresh build once that happens — swap it to the merged oven-sh/WebKit sha before landing.

Extended reasoning...

What the bug is

scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts:6 sets:

export const WEBKIT_VERSION = "autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6";

This is an autobuild-preview-* release tag from oven-sh/WebKit's CI, not a merged commit sha. The robobun comments on this PR state the constraint explicitly:

GitHub deletes the preview release when the WebKit PR merges. After the merge, set WEBKIT_VERSION in scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts to the merged sha before this PR lands.

and

Do not merge this PR with the preview tag.

The diff under review has not made that swap.

The code path

prebuiltUrl() in the same file constructs the download URL directly from this constant:

const tag = version.startsWith("autobuild-") ? version : `autobuild-${version}`;
return `https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/releases/download/${tag}/${name}.tar.gz`;

With WEBKIT_VERSION = "autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6", every prebuilt fetch resolves to https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/releases/download/autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6/bun-webkit-<...>.tar.gz.

Why nothing else prevents it

There is no fallback in the source() "prebuilt" branch: the URL is fetched, and a 404 is a hard build failure. prebuiltDestDir() keys the cache on the full autobuild-preview-* string, so any machine that has not already cached this exact tag (fresh CI runners, new checkouts, other branches after rebase) will hit the network. Local mode (cfg.webkit === 'local') is unaffected but is not the default.

Step-by-step failure

  1. This PR lands on main with WEBKIT_VERSION = "autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6".
  2. IntlCollator: throw an OutOfMemoryError instead of crashing when a huge Latin-1 string needs the UTF-16 upconversion WebKit#500 merges (which is the prerequisite for landing this PR in the first place).
  3. GitHub deletes the autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6 release, per the documented behavior.
  4. A fresh CI runner or dev machine runs bun bd. resolveDep calls prebuiltUrl(cfg) → the URL above → GitHub returns 404.
  5. The build fails at the WebKit prebuilt download step. Every job on every branch that has rebased past this commit is broken until someone lands a follow-up pin bump.

Impact

A time-bomb build break on main: green at merge time (the preview release still exists), red for everyone once oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges and the release is deleted. This is exactly the failure mode the PR's own process notes warned about.

(Minor aside: the PR description still references autobuild-preview-pr-500-59d0abdc, while the diff now has -dddf09e6 — presumably another WebKit-side rebase — but either way it is still a preview tag, not the merged sha.)

Fix

Before landing, replace the preview tag with the 40-hex merged commit sha from oven-sh/WebKit (once #500 has merged):

export const WEBKIT_VERSION = "<merged-40-hex-sha>";

No other change is needed; the sha form and the tag form go through the same prebuiltUrl path (the autobuild- prefix is added automatically for shas).

Agreed, and this is the landing order stated in the PR description and the timeline: oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges first, then this line changes to the merged sha, then this PR lands. The preview tag is here so CI builds and tests against the fix now. The WebKit PR has no human review yet, so the swap cannot happen yet.

The description already names dddf09e6. The 59d0abdc reference was the previous preview, replaced after the second rebase.

The fuzzer found a second script that reaches the same CRASH() in IntlCollator::compareStrings():

const v4 = Buffer.from(new ArrayBuffer(1129537122));
v4.latin1Slice(0, 1129537122).localeCompare();

This one does not need a 16-bit operand. Both strings are 8-bit. The first character is NUL, which has no UCA DUCET weight, so compareASCIIWithUCADUCET() returns nullopt. The collator skips the UTF-8 path (it is only tried when the DUCET fast path is not available) and falls back to ucol_strcoll() with upconvertedCharacters() on the 1.1 GiB Latin-1 string. "\0".repeat(1129537122).localeCompare() crashes the same way.

With autobuild-preview-pr-500-dddf09e6 both scripts exit with RangeError: Out of memory. The guard in oven-sh/WebKit#500 sits in front of the fallback, so it covers this shape too.

Commit d80afd1 adds the two 8-bit cases to the test (new Intl.Collator("en").compare(huge, "\0") and the reverse order). The "en" locale has no tailoring rules, so it always takes the DUCET fast path first. The cases reuse the existing 2^30 string, so the test memory does not grow. Checked that the two new cases alone abort on the current pin and pass on the preview build. The full intl.test.ts file passes (42 tests) on the preview build.

Rebased on main again (78526650c3). Same one-line conflict: main moved WEBKIT_VERSION to 1cb96a7b0edd (#40417).

Resolution:

  1. Rebased the branch of IntlCollator: throw an OutOfMemoryError instead of crashing when a huge Latin-1 string needs the UTF-16 upconversion WebKit#500 onto 1cb96a7b0edd. Same one commit, now b0d21d8d. The patched IntlCollator.cpp blob is unchanged (88c191a9cc).
  2. WEBKIT_VERSION here is now autobuild-preview-pr-500-b0d21d8d: main's pin plus that one commit.
  3. The branch is the same two commits as before, 9e6ce620fd (pin and test) and ce8931a265 (the two 8-bit cases).

Verified on the rebuilt debug ASAN binary (process.versions.webkit reports preview-pr-500-b0d21d8d): both fuzzer scripts exit with RangeError: Out of memory, and test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts passes, 42 of 42.

This is the third rebase for a WebKit pin move. Reviewing and merging oven-sh/WebKit#500 ends the loop.

Review status: the one CodeRabbit suggestion (build the 2^30 string with Buffer.alloc(...).toString()) is declined with measurements in the thread and the thread is resolved. On the debug ASAN build that form takes twice the time and twice the memory, and the string must stay Latin-1. No code change. CI for ce8931a265 is build #105929, still running.

98d664c267 adds test.skipIf(totalmem() < 4 * 1024 ** 3) to the new test, from the second review. The child holds a 1 GiB string and peaks near 1.4 GB RSS, so on a machine without that memory the kernel would kill it and the failure would be an opaque JSON.parse error. The other GiB-scale tests in the suite gate the same way. 4 GiB rather than their 10 GiB because this test builds a 1 GiB string, not 2 GiB, and the 8 GB CI machines should keep running it. The "a".repeat(2 ** 30) suggestion stays declined, with the measurements in the threads.

Build #105929 (ce8931a265) ended at 172 passed, 1 failed, 8 canceled by this push. The failed job is require-cache.test.ts on debian x64-asan again, pre-existing on main and already in triage. CI for 98d664c267 is build #105937.

Review status for 03d0958a10: both automated reviews are clean. The one open review thread is the preview pin on webkit.ts:6, kept open on purpose until oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges. CI is build #107111: 26 passed, 147 running, no failures so far.

CI for 03d0958a10 (build #107111): 179 of 181 jobs passed. The gated test passed on every lane.

The two failed jobs are the same pre-existing main failures seen in the earlier builds, both already in main-break triage: test/cli/run/require-cache.test.ts (Memory leak detected, windows 2019 x64) and test/js/web/url/url.test.ts (the Unicode 16 IDNA case, TypeError: Invalid URL, darwin x64). Every other failure passed on retry or when run alone.

Nothing further here until oven-sh/WebKit#500 merges.

Rebased on main again (97816832a8). Same one-line conflict: main moved WEBKIT_VERSION to f5deafe090cf (#40674).

Resolution:

  1. Rebased the branch of IntlCollator: throw an OutOfMemoryError instead of crashing when a huge Latin-1 string needs the UTF-16 upconversion WebKit#500 onto f5deafe090cf. Same one commit, now 29a935c7, same IntlCollator.cpp blob (88c191a9cc). Its preview build passed on all 42 jobs.
  2. WEBKIT_VERSION here is now autobuild-preview-pr-500-29a935c7: main's pin plus that one commit.
  3. The branch is the same three commits: pin and test (4e7dc2e858), the two 8-bit cases (5e1c078b5b), the memory gate (81c12fb79e).

Verified on the rebuilt debug ASAN binary (process.versions.webkit reports preview-pr-500-29a935c7): both fuzzer scripts exit with RangeError: Out of memory, and test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts passes, 42 of 42.

Eighth rebase for a WebKit pin move. oven-sh/WebKit#500 is a 10-line JSC change with no human review in five days. Reviewing and merging it ends the loop.

Rebased on main again (4ce1b3337c). Same one-line conflict: main moved WEBKIT_VERSION to 1817c3c37f5d with the upstream WebKit upgrade (#40681).

Resolution:

  1. Rebased the branch of IntlCollator: throw an OutOfMemoryError instead of crashing when a huge Latin-1 string needs the UTF-16 upconversion WebKit#500 onto 1817c3c37f5d. The 345-commit upgrade did not touch IntlCollator.cpp, isValidCapacityForVector, throwOutOfMemoryError, or StringView::upconvertedCharacters(), so it is the same one commit with the same blob (88c191a9cc), now 57344345. Its preview build passed on all 42 jobs.
  2. WEBKIT_VERSION here is now autobuild-preview-pr-500-57344345: main's pin plus that one commit.
  3. The branch is the same three commits: pin and test (356725e67e), the two 8-bit cases (5de8acecb5), the memory gate (a402e1e511).

Verified on the rebuilt debug ASAN binary (process.versions.webkit reports preview-pr-500-57344345): both fuzzer scripts exit with RangeError: Out of memory, and test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts passes, 42 of 42.

Main moved WEBKIT_VERSION again, to c4ddc0cf5255 (#40677), minutes after the previous push, so a402e1e511 is already in conflict. The branch of oven-sh/WebKit#500 is rebased onto that sha (head 53fc653a, same one commit, same blob); its preview build is running. This branch is rebased locally with the pin at autobuild-preview-pr-500-53fc653a and will be pushed once the preview release exists and the repros and intl.test.ts pass against it.

Tenth rebase for a WebKit pin move. oven-sh/WebKit#500 still has no human review.

… crashing

Points WEBKIT_VERSION at the preview build of oven-sh/WebKit#500.

IntlCollator::compareStrings() falls back to ucol_strcoll() when none of
the ASCII fast paths apply. That path upconverts each Latin-1 operand to
UTF-16 through a Vector<char16_t>. A string of 2^30 or more characters is
past the Vector's maximum capacity, and the allocation CRASH()ed the
process. The WebKit change throws RangeError: Out of memory instead.

Repro: "a".repeat(2 ** 30).localeCompare("\u3042").
…are crash

The fuzzer found a second script that reaches the same CRASH() in
IntlCollator::compareStrings():

    const v4 = Buffer.from(new ArrayBuffer(1129537122));
    v4.latin1Slice(0, 1129537122).localeCompare();

Both operands are 8-bit here. NUL has no UCA DUCET weight, so
compareASCIIWithUCADUCET() returns nullopt and the collator falls back
to ucol_strcoll() with upconvertedCharacters(). Add that shape to the
test with the "en" locale, which has no tailoring rules and so always
takes the DUCET fast path first.
The child of this test holds a 2^30-character Latin-1 string and peaks
near 1.4 GB RSS. On a machine without that memory the kernel kills the
child, stdout is empty, and the failure is an opaque JSON.parse error.
Gate on os.totalmem() like the other GiB-scale tests in the suite. The
4 GiB bound keeps the test running on the 8 GB CI machines.
