Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory (tokenize)

I encountered a core dump while fuzzing that traces back to jsfuzz's versifier.js:413

It also generated a corpus file of ~144K, while the average corpus size was ~20 bytes

Hey @cawalch thanks for reporting! versifier is a new algorithm that we just released and it can be disabled with --versifier=false just as a quick work-around.

Any chance you can share with me the fuzz-target or a repo that will help me to reproduce this behaviour?

Got it. Thanks.

Corpus seed

http://asciidoctor.org[*Asciidoctor*] running on https://opalrb.com[_Opal_]  brings AsciiDoc to Node.js!

Hopefully that helps.

I just tried this tool out and I've been seeing this a lot as well. On one run, I even had a 40MB corpus file.

Since maximum call stack errors were expected in my project, I also put this code into my fuzz function and don't recall seeing it since.

if (buffer.length > 1024) {
  return;
}

Thanks for reporting I think I'll disable versifier for now by default.
