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.

GHSA-8f34-f56x-9xph — msgpack5: Truncated map32 headers throw an unexpected error

Affected: npm: msgpack5

### 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.
