buffer: fix range checks for slice()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Using the black magic of Symbol.toPrimitive the numeric value of
start/end can be changed when Uint32Value() is called once
Buffer::Fill() is entered. Allowing the CHECK() to be bypassed.

The bug report was only for "start", but the same can be done with
"end". Perform checks for both in node::Buffer::Fill() to make sure the
issue can't be triggered, even if process.binding is used directly.

Include tests for each case. Along with a check to make sure the last
time the value is accessed returns -1. This should be enough to make
sure Buffer::Fill() is receiving the correct value. Along with two tests
against process.binding directly.

Fixes: #9149
