MessagePack is the serializer implementation for Python msgpack.org. Prior to 1.2.1, there is an Out-of-bounds read/crash on Unpacker reuse after a caught error, potentially leading to a DoS attack. If the Unpacker is used repeatedly after an error occurs, the process may crash with a SEGV. This issue has been fixed in version 1.2.1.

- GHSA-6v7p-g79w-8964MessagePack for Python: Out-of-bounds read / crash on Unpacker reuse after a caught error2026-06-19ghsa · osvUS
### Impact If the Unpacker is used repeatedly after an error occurs, the process may crash with a SEGV. If the Unpacker is used repeatedly to unpack untrusted input from external sources, it may be vulnerable to a DoS attack. ### Patches v1.2.1 ### Workarounds Users should create a new Unpacker instead of reusing the same Unpacker after an error occurs. Applying the above patch can prevent SEGV, but reusing the Streaming Unpacker after it has encountered an error will not yield correct data. If an error occurs during Streaming Unpacking, the Stream and Streaming Unpacker should be discarded. Therefore, this is not just a workaround but the correct solution. The above patch only prevents crashes from incorrect usage.
