Problem

  • Bun.build({ files }) crashes with panic: range end index 1024 out of range for slice of length 1023 when an in-memory file contains an import specifier 1024+ bytes long on macOS (4096+ on Linux), e.g. a CSS data: URL. Reported in Bun.build({ files }) panics on CSS data URLs at 1024 bytes #39252.
  • Cause: FileMap::resolve in src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs treats every non-absolute specifier as a relative path and joins it against the importer's directory with join_abs_string_buf, which writes into a fixed PathBuffer ([u8; PATH_MAX_BYTES], 1024 on macOS, 4096 on Linux) without bounds checking. A long data: URL is "not absolute", so the whole URL is joined as a path and overflows the buffer.
  • The same CSS builds fine from disk because the regular resolver recognizes data: URLs before any path joining; only the in-memory (files) pre-check hits the unchecked join.

Fix

  • Use join_abs_string_buf_checked (and abs_buf_checked) in FileMap::resolve; when the joined path cannot fit in a path buffer, return None so the regular resolver takes over. The resolver parses data: URLs correctly, and anything else over-long gets a normal build diagnostic instead of a process abort.
  • Length-guard the Windows-only path_to_posix_buf separator normalizations in FileMap::get/contains/resolve, which copy the raw specifier into a PathBuffer and had the same overflow for specifiers over the Windows path buffer size (~64 KB, reachable with real-world base64 data URLs).
  • Verified with test/bundler/bundler_files.test.ts ("css data: url longer than PATH_MAX does not crash"): panics on current main, passes with this change. The test uses a 70000-byte URL so it exceeds the path buffer on every platform.
  • Issue's original repro now succeeds at 4095/4096/70000 byte URLs on Linux (disk and virtual builds both return success: true with identical output).
  • cargo check passes on all 6 targets (bun run rust:check-all); full bundler_files.test.ts suite passes (25/25).

Background

  • BuildConfig.files supplies virtual in-memory modules. Before the real resolver runs, the bundler checks this FileMap for each import: first a direct key match, then (for relative specifiers) a join against the importer's directory to match keys like /src/lib.js from ./lib.js.
  • Path joins in bun use pooled fixed-size buffers sized to the platform's PATH_MAX. join_abs_string_buf assumes the result fits; join_abs_string_buf_checked is the variant that returns None on overflow, intended for user-controlled input of arbitrary length.

…om in-memory files

Bun.build({ files }) panicked with "range end index N out of range for
slice of length PATH_MAX-1" when an in-memory file imported a specifier
longer than PATH_MAX, e.g. a CSS data: URL. FileMap::resolve joined any
non-absolute specifier against the importer's directory with an
unchecked join into a fixed PathBuffer.

Use the checked join and length-guard the Windows separator
normalization; oversized specifiers fall through to the regular
resolver, which handles data: URLs and reports normal diagnostics.

Walkthrough

Changes

Windows FileMap operations now handle oversized specifiers without unsafe path-buffer writes. Checked path conversion and joining return failure when buffers are insufficient. A subprocess regression test covers a 100,000-byte CSS data: URL from an in-memory file.

Oversized path handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Safe FileMap resolution
src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs
Windows lookups bypass normalization for oversized specifiers. Relative resolution uses checked absolute conversion and path joining.

The test bundles a large CSS data: URL in a subprocess and verifies output, preserved URL content, empty stderr, and successful exit.

LGTM — swapping to the _checked join variants and length-guarding path_to_posix_buf is the right fix for #39252; returning None correctly hands off to the real resolver. The inline nit about the 70000-byte test size vs Windows's 98302-byte PathBuffer is worth addressing (bump to ~100k and fix the comment) but doesn't affect correctness on the platforms where the crash was reported.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a process-aborting panic in Bun.build({ files }) when an in-memory file imports a specifier longer than PATH_MAX_BYTES (e.g. a CSS data: URL). The change is confined to FileMap::{get, contains, resolve} in src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs (~30 net lines) plus one regression test in test/bundler/bundler_files.test.ts. The fix swaps join_abs_string_bufjoin_abs_string_buf_checked and abs_bufabs_buf_checked (both return Option, ?-propagated so resolve() returns None and the real resolver takes over), and adds specifier.len() > buf.len() guards before the four Windows-only path_to_posix_buf calls that copy the raw specifier into a pooled PathBuffer.

Security risks

None. This is a crash-on-user-input fix in a build API. No auth, crypto, permissions, or network surface is touched. The change strictly narrows a panic into a graceful None fallthrough.

Level of scrutiny

Low-medium. The change is mechanical: it replaces unchecked buffer joins with their existing checked counterparts (join_abs_string_buf_checked at src/paths/resolve_path.rs:1640, abs_buf_checked at src/resolver/lib.rs:348) — the exact pattern the repo already uses for user-controlled path input. Returning None from FileMap::resolve is the documented contract for "not in the virtual map, let the real resolver handle it", so long specifiers now take the same path as they already do for on-disk builds. The two extra defensive guards on abs_source_file (lines 984, 990-992) operate on the importer path, which is always a short map key or filesystem path in practice, so they're effectively unreachable but harmless.

Other factors

  • The regression test spawns a subprocess (so a panic fails the child, not the runner), drains stdout/stderr/exited concurrently, asserts { success: true, hasUrl: true } and exitCode === 0, and uses test.concurrent — all matching harness conventions.
  • One nit was filed: the 70000-byte test URL doesn't exceed Windows's 98302-byte PathBuffer, so the four new #[cfg(windows)] length guards and the _checked overflow branch aren't exercised on Windows CI, and the code comment "exceeds the path buffer on every platform" is inaccurate there. This is a coverage/comment nit — the primary #39252 crash (macOS 1024 / Linux 4096) is validly regression-tested, and the Windows guards are correct by inspection.
  • rust:check-all and the full bundler_files.test.ts suite (25/25) reported passing; no prior human review comments to address.

Addressed the review nit: the Windows u8 path buffer is 98302 bytes (32767 * 3 + 1), not ~64 KB. The test URL is now 100000 bytes so it exceeds the buffer on every platform, and the PR description is corrected. Re-verified fail-before against main's bundle_v2.rs and pass-after with the fix (debug build).

Normalize long Windows specifiers before FileMap lookup.

FileMap insertion converts backslashes to / and uppercases drive letters. The long-specifier branches in get, contains, and resolve use the raw specifier, so they can miss an existing in-memory file. Use an allocation-backed path with the same normalization semantics. PathBuffer::len() is the usable input limit, and the <= boundary is safe because normalization writes exactly specifier.len() bytes without a terminator.

Closing as a duplicate: #38650 (opened earlier) fixes the same unchecked join in FileMap::resolve as part of a broader rework of how files keys are resolved, and supersedes this change. Linked #39252 there.
