Node v6.6.0 PBKDF2() Out of Memory

[scttcper]

Updated from node v6.5.0 to v6.6.0 and now I'm getting a weird crash. I've narrowed it down to rethinkdbdash 2.3.23 or the included version of rethinkdb.

$ node -v
v6.6.0
$ npm -v
3.10.7

$node
> const r = require('rethinkdbdash')();

How much memory do you have on your machine? You just ran out of memory.
Maybe there's a bug in crypto in 6.6.0

My coworker told me about the error and I reproduced the same error after updating to v6.6.0.
osx 10.11.6. Node installed via nvm.

It probably is a v6.6.0 PBKDF2 bug. hmmm.... 😐

[scttcper]

I've narrowed it down to the following from connection.js which crashes every time. Can close this.

var crypto = require('crypto');

var salt = new Buffer('McWpw6FL29zJ6E97Le3hKQ==', 'base64')
crypto.pbkdf2('', salt, 1, 32, "sha256", function(error, saltedPassword) {
  console.log(error)
  console.log(saltedPassword)
})

I've opened nodejs/node#8571

I think this should be left open until the issue is resolved in Node. Will save time for others trying to figure out what's wrong...

[neumino]

Let's keep it open such that it's easier for people to find the link to the node's bug.

@scttcper I can confirm that with the recent release of 6.7.0, this no longer happens.

@neumino You may consider closing the issue.
