NODE CLOSES CRASH BUGS IN URL AND FFI MODULES WHILE SHIPPING BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Node.js

Node patched a process crash in pathToFileURL() that could be triggered by malformed UNC hostnames, while simultaneous fixes to FFI garbage collection and debugger refactoring land across the core.

The url module now guards against crashes when pathToFileURL() receives malformed UNC hostnames [1], a fix that closes a real stability gap in Windows path handling. Meanwhile, the FFI binding layer got a critical safeguard: premature garbage collection of DynamicLibrary objects is now prevented [2], addressing a bug that could corrupt native bindings at runtime. The debugger saw internal housekeeping completed [3] as ProbeInspectorSession and helpers moved to separate files, finishing work that had been blocked by an unrelated test failure. On the build side, Node's infrastructure now passes correct Rust targets for macOS cross-compilation [4], ensuring arm64→x64 builds via Rosetta work with the rustc compiler. The broader build pipeline also updated gn on ppc64le and s390x machines [5] for V8 compatibility, and staged v26.x release assets [7] as the release cycle progresses. Temporal also joined the frozen intrinsics list [6], hardening the security sandbox.
