CVE-2026-107302

About vulnerability

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.
