Problem

  • new URLPattern({ pathname: ".".repeat(53_000_000) }) aborts the process: panic(main thread): abort() called, exit 134. Any component and the string form reach it.
  • Tokenizer::addToken (src/jsc/bindings/webcore/URLPatternTokenizer.cpp:71) appends one 40-byte Token per code point to a WTF::Vector<Token>. A Vector holds at most INT32_MAX bytes, and Vector::expandCapacity calls CRASH() when a growth step passes that.

Fix

  • Port WebKit 302131@main: append with tryAppend, stop the loop on failure, and return TypeError: URLPattern constructor: Failed to create URLPattern (from input string). The check runs after the End token is appended (upstream checks before it), so a list that fills exactly at the bound throws too instead of losing End.
  • Also bound the count by Bun::maxVectorSize<Token>() (VectorSizeLimit.h, byte-identical to the header url: throw a RangeError instead of aborting when URLSearchParams or FormData outgrows its Vector #40577 adds). With the default limit it equals the Vector cap. The test reaches it with 64 KiB instead of 5.8 GB.
  • Verified: test/js/web/urlpattern/urlpattern.test.ts (nine new tests, stock bun fails each: "Received function did not throw"). The real 53M input throws on debug ASAN and release builds. Also node's test-urlpattern.js.
  • Self-reviewed: 3 concerns raised, 2 addressed. Rejected: upstream's check order, see above.

Background

  • src/jsc/bindings/webcore/URLPattern*.cpp is a copy of WebKit's Modules/url-pattern/, compiled into Bun. The tokenizer makes one token per code point of plain text, plus an End token that both parsers rely on.
  • WTF::Vector<T>::append grows by 1.5x and crashes when the new capacity fails isValidCapacityForVector<T>. tryAppend returns false.
  • setSyntheticAllocationLimitForTesting (bun:internal-for-testing) lowers Bun__stringSyntheticAllocationLimit, down to 1 MiB. maxVectorSize<T>() is min(INT32_MAX, limit) / sizeof(T).
Notes
  • Stock release: the 53M repro exits 134 after 3.6 s at 5.82 GB peak RSS. Debug ASAN build of main: exit 134 after 33 s. With this change both builds print TypeError URLPattern constructor: Failed to create URLPattern (from input string) for { pathname: ".".repeat(53_000_000) }, for new URLPattern("https://example.com/" + "\0".repeat(60_000_000)), and for { hash: "x".repeat(51_821_100) } (release, 5.5 s for all three).
  • Growth from the minimum capacity 16 by 1.5x reaches 51821028, and the next step (77731542) is past the 53687091 cap, so the smallest aborting component was 51821029 code points.
  • Why the check runs after the End token: with the check before it, an input whose tokens fill the list exactly passes the check, the End append fails unseen, and the list is returned without End. URLPatternParser::performParse flushes pending fixed text only when it consumes End, so such a pattern would compile to an empty part list (a pathname pattern of "") instead of throwing. URLPatternConstructorStringParser::getSafeToken asserts last().type == End. The last test finds the longest pathname that parses under the 1 MiB limit and checks that it comes back whole.
  • sizeof(Token) is 40 in release and 48 in debug (StringView carries a lifetime-check pointer there), so the tests do not hardcode the bound. It bisects between 8 Ki (parses) and 64 Ki (throws): the longest pathname that parses is 26213 code points in release and 21844 in debug, plus the End token.
  • BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 is clean on the new tests. The real limit is not in the test suite: it needs more than 5 GB and about 35 s per run under ASAN. The tests cover six init components, the constructor string, a pathname inherited from baseURL, a pattern below the bound that still matches, and both sides of the exact bound. protocol and port are left out because a 64 KiB value already fails their canonicalize step.
  • Vector<Part> in URLPatternParser has the same cap in theory (48-byte parts). Reaching it needs more than 112 million tokens, or tens of millions of unique group names through the linear isDuplicateName scan, so the token bound covers it.
  • URLPattern: throw instead of aborting when a pattern string passes the string limit #42191 fixes a different limit in the same constructor (String::MaxLength when escaping or joining the base URL) and does not touch the tokenizer. It throws RangeError: Out of memory, which is what Bun throws elsewhere for a string above the length limit. This PR keeps upstream's TypeError, which is also what every other failure in URLPattern*.cpp throws. url: throw a RangeError instead of aborting when URLSearchParams or FormData outgrows its Vector #40577 adds the identical VectorSizeLimit.h; whichever lands second merges cleanly.

The tokenizer appends one 40-byte Token per code point to a WTF::Vector.
A Vector holds at most INT32_MAX bytes, so a component near 52 million
characters made Vector::expandCapacity CRASH() the process.

Append with tryAppend, stop tokenizing on failure, and return a
TypeError, as WebKit 302131@main does. The bound also follows
Bun__stringSyntheticAllocationLimit through Bun::maxVectorSize<Token>()
so the test reaches it with a 64 KiB pattern.

Reproduced on stock release bun (1.4.3, 5f554969b): bun -e 'new URLPattern({ pathname: ".".repeat(53_000_000) })' exits 134 with panic(main thread): abort() called after 3.6 s at 5.82 GB RSS. A debug ASAN build of main aborts the same way after 33 s. ".".repeat(50_000_000) throws a normal TypeError instead, so the abort is the Vector<Token> capacity step at 51821029 tokens.

With this branch, both builds throw TypeError: URLPattern constructor: Failed to create URLPattern (from input string) for that input, for the 60M string form, and for { hash: "x".repeat(51_821_100) }. The nine new tests in test/js/web/urlpattern/urlpattern.test.ts lower the synthetic allocation limit to 1 MiB. Each fails on stock bun ("Received function did not throw") and passes with bun bd test.

CI: the URLPattern tests pass on every lane in builds 113898 and 113903. The two red jobs are test/js/bun/http/serve-pending-promise-abort-leak.test.ts on debian x64-asan and test/bake/deinitialization.test.ts on windows 2019 x64 (a segfault at shutdown). Neither touches this diff, and both are reported for triage on main. This is ready for a maintainer to review.

Walkthrough

Changes

URLPattern tokenization now bounds token-vector growth using the synthetic allocation limit. Failed token appends stop tokenization and produce a TypeError. Tests cover oversized inputs and the maximum accepted pathname boundary.

LGTM — focused port of WebKit 302131@ main that turns a reachable Vector::expandCapacity CRASH into a catchable TypeError.

What was reviewed:

  • addToken failure path: m_index is not advanced on failure, but every addToken call site in tokenize() is followed by continue/loop-end, and the loop condition now checks !m_tokenAppendFailure, so no infinite loop or stale-index read.
  • End-token ordering: the m_tokenAppendFailure check runs after the End append, so a list that fills exactly at the bound throws instead of returning without End (which URLPatternParser and getSafeToken both depend on).
  • maxVectorSize<T>(): the static_assert pair pins the byte cap to isValidCapacityForVector's actual boundary; min with the synthetic limit widens correctly (both size_t).
  • Tests: scoped beforeAll/afterAll restore of the synthetic limit, Buffer.alloc over .repeat, boundary bisection covers both sides, all six tokenized components plus constructor-string and baseURL paths.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a process abort in URLPattern when a pattern string produces more tokens than a WTF::Vector<Token> can hold. It adds a small header (VectorSizeLimit.h) computing the max element count for WTF::Vector<T> (lowered by the synthetic allocation limit for testability), changes Tokenizer::addToken to bound-check and use tryAppend instead of append, adds a bool m_tokenAppendFailure that short-circuits the tokenize loop, and returns a TypeError after the End-token append. Tests are added to the existing urlpattern.test.ts, lowering the synthetic limit to 1 MiB so the bound is reachable at 64 KiB instead of ~52M characters / ~5.8 GB.

Security risks

The change is a security improvement: it converts a user-reachable CRASH() (process abort, DoS) into a catchable TypeError, matching the WHATWG spec's error class and upstream WebKit's fix. No new attack surface is introduced — the only behavioral change is that oversized inputs now throw instead of aborting. The maxVectorSize computation uses size_t throughout with std::min before division, so there is no overflow risk.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. This is a small (~30 LOC production change), focused fix that ports a specific upstream WebKit commit. I traced every addToken call site in tokenize() to confirm that a failed append (which leaves m_index unadvanced) cannot cause an infinite loop or be observed mid-iteration — every site is immediately followed by continue or is the last statement, and the loop condition now includes !m_tokenAppendFailure. I also verified the PR's stated deviation from upstream (checking the flag after the End-token append) is correct: without it, an input filling the list exactly would return a token list missing End, which URLPatternParser::performParse needs to flush pending text and URLPatternConstructorStringParser::getSafeToken asserts on.

Other factors

Test coverage is thorough for the change: six init components, the constructor-string form, baseURL inheritance, a below-bound pattern that still matches, and a binary-searched exact boundary asserting both sides (round-trips whole at N, throws at N+1). The tests follow repo conventions (Buffer.alloc over .repeat, bun:internal-for-testing to lower the limit, restored in afterAll, added to the existing test file). The bug hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings. No CODEOWNERS cover these paths. The one earlier CodeRabbit thread was resolved by a non-author and a follow-up commit landed.

…ot grow (#42649)

### Problem
- Eight containers in the C++ web streams grow with script input and
call `CRASH()` when full: `panic(main thread): abort() called`, exit
134. Every release since #33193 aborts, and Bun 1.3.14 does not. Fuzzing
found them, with no user report.
- Four are cheap: `StreamQueue::enqueueValueWithSize`
(`StreamQueue.h:138`, the 67,108,864th `enqueue()`, 1.1 GB),
`BunTextAccumulator::pieces` (the 262,343,954th binary `write()` under
`.text()`, 2.1 GB), `streamingUTF8Decode` (`WebStreamsMisc.cpp:101`) and
`concatenateChunks` (`BunStreamConsumers.cpp:402`), each with one
2^31-byte input.
- Four need 8 GB or more: the read request, read-into and pull-into
`Deque`s and the byte queue (from #42659, merged into this branch).

### Fix
- Each site throws `RangeError: Out of memory`, as #37237 does. `Deque`
has no fallible append, so those sites check `Bun::maxDequeSize<T>()`
before the cell lock. The `Vector` sites call `tryAppend`, `tryGrow` or
`tryReserve*`.
- A failed `enqueue()` errors the stream. A refused `read()` rejects and
the stream stays readable. `writer.write()` never throws: the stream
errors and the pending writes reject. A full `tee()` branch errors both
branches and cancels the source.
- In `concatenateChunks` this PR only stops the abort. #37239 (open)
makes totals up to 4 GiB resolve again.
- Verified: 14 new tests in `streams.test.js`, 2 in
`streams-string-limit.test.ts`. All 16 fail on the `main` sources.
Self-reviewed: 14 concerns raised, 12 addressed. The other 2 ask for a
source lint (#42648).

### Background
- `WTF::Vector<T>` holds `INT32_MAX / sizeof(T)` elements. `append`
calls `CRASH()` past that, and `tryAppend` returns false. `WTF::Deque`
has a power-of-two capacity and keeps one slot empty.
- `Bun::maxVectorSize<T>()` and `Bun::maxDequeSize<T>()` are those
bounds, lowered by `Bun__stringSyntheticAllocationLimit`. The tests set
it to 64 KiB in a child process.
- `cellLock()` guards GC references against the concurrent marker. A
throw allocates from the GC heap, so it happens outside the lock.

**Repros, on a release build of `main` (f04caca) and on Bun 1.3.14**

```js
// 1. main: exit 134 after 2.6 s at 1.11 GB. 1.3.14: finishes, 4.7 GB.
let c;
new ReadableStream({ start(ctrl) { c = ctrl; } }, { highWaterMark: Infinity });
for (let i = 0; i < 67108864; i++) c.enqueue(1);

// 2. main: exit 134 after 10 s at 2.13 GB. 1.3.14: resolves, 4.4 GB.
const chunk = new Uint8Array(1);
await new ReadableStream({
  type: "direct",
  pull(c) { for (let i = 0; i < 262343954; i++) c.write(chunk); c.end(); },
}).text();

// 3. main: exit 134 at once, 29 MB. 1.3.14: exits 0.
const w = new TextDecoderStream().writable.getWriter();
w.write(new Uint8Array([0xe2]));
w.write(new Uint8Array(2 ** 31));

// 4. main: exit 134 at once, 32 MB. 1.3.14: resolves with 2,200,000,001 bytes.
const big = new Uint8Array(1100000000);
await Bun.readableStreamToArrayBuffer(new ReadableStream({
  start(c) { c.enqueue("a"); c.enqueue(big); c.enqueue(big); c.close(); },
}));
```

**Provenance**
- Sites 1 to 3 come from one fuzzing census of `main`. Site 4 is the
abort #37239 reported on 2026-08-09. A review of this diff found that it
was still open in a file this PR edits.
- The four expensive `Deque`s come from the same census. This PR first
left them out and listed them in #42648. #42659 then fixed them on top
of this branch, and it was merged into it.
- All eight containers first appear in #33193, the C++ rewrite of the
streams. Before it the queues were JS arrays, which throw `RangeError:
Out of memory`.
- This is hygiene under the `REVIEW.md` rule that a failure user input
can reach is a catchable error. It is not urgent.

**With this PR, on a release build, at the real limits** (measured
before #42659 was merged in)
- Repro 1: `enqueue()` throws at 67,108,862 values. Exit 0, 2.9 s, 1.08
GB.
- Repro 2: `write()` throws at 262,343,953 pieces, then `text()`
resolves with that many characters. Exit 0, 12.1 s, 2.67 GB peak.
- Repro 3: the second `write()` rejects. Exit 0, 0.1 s, 20 MB.
- A `WritableStream` whose queue holds exactly 67,108,862 writes closes
and drains (5.7 GB). One more write errors the stream: `writer.closed`
and all 67,108,863 write promises reject with the `RangeError`, and no
chunk reaches the sink (3.75 GB).
- That last run gave the write promises no reactions. With a reaction on
each, `writableStreamFinishErroring` queues 67 million jobs in one loop,
and JSC's microtask queue aborts at the 33,554,432nd pending job. A
plain `Promise.resolve().then()` loop does the same on `main` and on
1.3.14. #42648 tracks it.
- The four expensive `Deque`s were not run at their real limits (8.5 GB
to 42 GB). The synthetic limit covers them.

**Where each number comes from**
- A value queue entry is 16 bytes, so the largest legal `Deque` capacity
is 2^26. A ring of capacity C holds C - 1 entries: 67,108,863. After
this change that is 67,108,862 values plus the slot for the
`WritableStream` close sentinel. A queue takes one sentinel at most,
because `close()` rejects when a close is already queued.
- A piece is 8 bytes. `Vector::append` grows by a quarter, and the step
from 262,343,953 passes the largest capacity (268,435,455). `tryAppend`
refuses at the same point. `maxVectorSize` binds only when a test lowers
the limit.
- `concatenateChunks` also keeps a 16-byte entry per chunk. It now
reserves them in one fallible step.
- A read request, a read-into request and a pull-into descriptor each
take an 8-byte slot: 134,217,727 entries. A byte queue entry is 24
bytes: 67,108,863 entries.

**What each refused operation leaves behind**
- The byte controller checks the pull-into `Deque` before it transfers
the caller's buffer, and it adds the request before the descriptor. A
refused `read(view)` keeps its view and leaves no descriptor.
- `readableByteStreamControllerEnqueueChunkToQueue` errors the stream
when the byte queue is full. The buffer of the chunk is already
transferred at that point, so the chunk cannot be handed back. The same
function does this for a failed clone.
- A direct stream refuses the read before `pull()` runs, so a `close()`
that `pull()` defers is not lost.
- `teeAbortWithError` is the clone-failure path of the byte tee, moved
into one function. The default tee and the byte tee now use it when a
branch enqueue throws.

**Sites left as on `main`**
- The write request `Deque` (`WritableStreamOperations.cpp:264`). The
value queue of the same stream fills first, and `enqueueValueWithSize`
bounds that.
- JSC's microtask queue (#42648).
- `StreamQueue::prepend` has no caller.

**`VectorSizeLimit.h`**
- It started as the file #42214, #40577 and #42220 add, byte for byte.
#42659 added `maxDequeSize` and `#include <bit>` to it. Whichever of
those PRs lands after this one takes this copy, which is a superset.

**The tests**
- Fourteen tests run children with the 64 KiB limit, the knob
`scrypt.test.ts`, `argon2.test.ts` and #42214 use. On the `main` sources
every loop runs to its end and reports no error, or a refused read never
rejects. So the fail-before is an assertion diff, not an abort, and no
test runs into its timeout.
- The `TextDecoderStream` test and the `arrayBuffer()` byte-total test
need the real sizes: a later check in the same function has the same
threshold as the synthetic limit. Each child reserves its big chunk and
never touches it. On the `main` sources each child exits 134.
- The `WritableStream` test also closes a writer whose queue is exactly
full, to cover the sentinel slot.
- `streams-leak.test.ts` fails one RSS threshold on a debug ASAN build
in this container, with and without this diff (761 MB against a 700 MB
bound on the `main` sources).

…ot grow (oven-sh#42649)

### Problem
- Eight containers in the C++ web streams grow with script input and
call `CRASH()` when full: `panic(main thread): abort() called`, exit
134. Every release since oven-sh#33193 aborts, and Bun 1.3.14 does not. Fuzzing
found them, with no user report.
- Four are cheap: `StreamQueue::enqueueValueWithSize`
(`StreamQueue.h:138`, the 67,108,864th `enqueue()`, 1.1 GB),
`BunTextAccumulator::pieces` (the 262,343,954th binary `write()` under
`.text()`, 2.1 GB), `streamingUTF8Decode` (`WebStreamsMisc.cpp:101`) and
`concatenateChunks` (`BunStreamConsumers.cpp:402`), each with one
2^31-byte input.
- Four need 8 GB or more: the read request, read-into and pull-into
`Deque`s and the byte queue (from oven-sh#42659, merged into this branch).

### Fix
- Each site throws `RangeError: Out of memory`, as oven-sh#37237 does. `Deque`
has no fallible append, so those sites check `Bun::maxDequeSize<T>()`
before the cell lock. The `Vector` sites call `tryAppend`, `tryGrow` or
`tryReserve*`.
- A failed `enqueue()` errors the stream. A refused `read()` rejects and
the stream stays readable. `writer.write()` never throws: the stream
errors and the pending writes reject. A full `tee()` branch errors both
branches and cancels the source.
- In `concatenateChunks` this PR only stops the abort. oven-sh#37239 (open)
makes totals up to 4 GiB resolve again.
- Verified: 14 new tests in `streams.test.js`, 2 in
`streams-string-limit.test.ts`. All 16 fail on the `main` sources.
Self-reviewed: 14 concerns raised, 12 addressed. The other 2 ask for a
source lint (oven-sh#42648).

### Background
- `WTF::Vector<T>` holds `INT32_MAX / sizeof(T)` elements. `append`
calls `CRASH()` past that, and `tryAppend` returns false. `WTF::Deque`
has a power-of-two capacity and keeps one slot empty.
- `Bun::maxVectorSize<T>()` and `Bun::maxDequeSize<T>()` are those
bounds, lowered by `Bun__stringSyntheticAllocationLimit`. The tests set
it to 64 KiB in a child process.
- `cellLock()` guards GC references against the concurrent marker. A
throw allocates from the GC heap, so it happens outside the lock.

**Repros, on a release build of `main` (f04caca) and on Bun 1.3.14**

```js
// 1. main: exit 134 after 2.6 s at 1.11 GB. 1.3.14: finishes, 4.7 GB.
let c;
new ReadableStream({ start(ctrl) { c = ctrl; } }, { highWaterMark: Infinity });
for (let i = 0; i < 67108864; i++) c.enqueue(1);

// 2. main: exit 134 after 10 s at 2.13 GB. 1.3.14: resolves, 4.4 GB.
const chunk = new Uint8Array(1);
await new ReadableStream({
  type: "direct",
  pull(c) { for (let i = 0; i < 262343954; i++) c.write(chunk); c.end(); },
}).text();

// 3. main: exit 134 at once, 29 MB. 1.3.14: exits 0.
const w = new TextDecoderStream().writable.getWriter();
w.write(new Uint8Array([0xe2]));
w.write(new Uint8Array(2 ** 31));

// 4. main: exit 134 at once, 32 MB. 1.3.14: resolves with 2,200,000,001 bytes.
const big = new Uint8Array(1100000000);
await Bun.readableStreamToArrayBuffer(new ReadableStream({
  start(c) { c.enqueue("a"); c.enqueue(big); c.enqueue(big); c.close(); },
}));
```

**Provenance**
- Sites 1 to 3 come from one fuzzing census of `main`. Site 4 is the
abort oven-sh#37239 reported on 2026-08-09. A review of this diff found that it
was still open in a file this PR edits.
- The four expensive `Deque`s come from the same census. This PR first
left them out and listed them in oven-sh#42648. oven-sh#42659 then fixed them on top
of this branch, and it was merged into it.
- All eight containers first appear in oven-sh#33193, the C++ rewrite of the
streams. Before it the queues were JS arrays, which throw `RangeError:
Out of memory`.
- This is hygiene under the `REVIEW.md` rule that a failure user input
can reach is a catchable error. It is not urgent.

**With this PR, on a release build, at the real limits** (measured
before oven-sh#42659 was merged in)
- Repro 1: `enqueue()` throws at 67,108,862 values. Exit 0, 2.9 s, 1.08
GB.
- Repro 2: `write()` throws at 262,343,953 pieces, then `text()`
resolves with that many characters. Exit 0, 12.1 s, 2.67 GB peak.
- Repro 3: the second `write()` rejects. Exit 0, 0.1 s, 20 MB.
- A `WritableStream` whose queue holds exactly 67,108,862 writes closes
and drains (5.7 GB). One more write errors the stream: `writer.closed`
and all 67,108,863 write promises reject with the `RangeError`, and no
