Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact A truncated `map32` header causes an out-of-bounds buffer read and throws `RangeError` instead of `IncompleteBufferError`. Applications that rely on `IncompleteBufferError` to wait for additional bytes may terminate a request, stream, or worker unexpectedly. No adjacent memory is disclosed because the buffer implementation checks bounds. ### Patches The decoder now validates the complete five-byte `map32` header before reading its length and reports truncated input as `IncompleteBufferError`. ### Workarounds Require at least five bytes before decoding a value beginning with `0xdf`, or catch `RangeError` and treat it as incomplete input only for truncated `map32` headers.
