crypto: State not recovered after an exception is thrown #4879
Description
While upgrading one of our applications to Node.js 4.2.6 (from 4.2.3) I bumped into an issue with the crypto module. In the tests, we supply an invalid key into the createCipheriv function and it barks as expected.
However, when running the same code again later in the tests, this time with a correct key, it still doesn't work and an exception is thrown. It weird thing is that the error comes from a different crypto function (createHash). I assume some internal state is not being cleared.
The code works on Node.js 4.2.3 and fails on 4.2.4-6. It's still entirely possible that we're doing something wrong. Any suggestions are welcomed.
