Buffer bounds problem with logging-winston (maybe logging generally) on node v22.7

[circle-eric]

The google cloud sdk image we are using runs the latest version of node, it appears there is an issue with logging on this version of node. Image crashes on startup and breaks deploy.

RangeError [ERR_BUFFER_OUT_OF_BOUNDS]: "length" is outside of buffer bounds

Environment details

• OS: debian (google/cloud-sdk:latest)

• Node.js version: v22.7.0

• @google-cloud/logging-winston version: "^6.0.0"

Steps to reproduce

It doesn't seems like there is just a problem with node 22.7 and some dependency used by logging. The following example:

package.json

  {
  "name": "test_logging_pkg",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "test.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "description": "",
  "dependencies": {
    "@google-cloud/logging-winston": "^6.0.0"
  }
}

test.js

const { LoggingWinston } = require('@google-cloud/logging-winston');

new LoggingWinston();

Will crash with

Can replicate on alpine also, suddenly all staging deployments to Cloud Run started to break which uses the "node:22-alpine" Docker base image

[jerryjj]

Just to mention here, other libraries are also affected with the same bug. Seems to be issue with NodeJS itself nodejs/node#54518

[cindy-peng]

Hi @jerryjj , it looks like this issue has been fixed for NodeJS in the latest version v22.8.0: nodejs/node#54518 (comment)

Are you still running into this issue?
