Summary

msgpack5: Truncated map32 headers throw an unexpected error

Details

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.

Severity

7.5 (High)

CVE-2026-107302 (GCVE-0-2026-107302)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-10-08 17:14 – Updated: 2026-10-08 17:32

Title

msgpack5: Truncated map32 headers throw an unexpected error

Summary

msgpack5 is a msgpack v5 implementation for node.js and the browser. Prior to 6.1.0, the decoder reads the four-byte length of a map32 value before validating that the complete five-byte header is available. A truncated map32 header therefore causes a checked out-of-bounds buffer read and throws RangeError instead of IncompleteBufferError, which can unexpectedly terminate a request, stream, or worker in applications that wait for additional bytes after IncompleteBufferError. There is no adjacent-memory disclosure because the buffer implementation checks bounds. This issue is fixed in version 6.1.0.

Severity

7.5 (High)
