"length" is outside of buffer bounds

[phaistonian]

protobuf.js version: 7.4.0

It appears that the latest nodejs version (22.7.0) triggers this error:

RangeError [ERR_BUFFER_OUT_OF_BOUNDS]: "length" is outside of buffer bounds

We are observing same issue

As a fix, we decided to downgrade node version (22.4.0 works fine).

Same issue, not necessary to protobufjs@7.4. The error thrown on my 7.3.3

This sounds like an upstream Node issue:

• ERR_BUFFER_OUT_OF_BOUNDS error with Google Vision package on Node 22.7.0 nodejs/node#54518
• buffer: truncate instead of throw when writing beyond buffer nodejs/node#54524 (comment)
