Summary
Devalue before 5.9.3 contains a validation bypass that lets custom ArrayBuffer revivers skip typed-array allocation checks in the parse function. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send very small crafted input that a malformed ArrayBuffer reviver turns into massive ArrayBuffer allocations, exhausting memory and causing denial of service (CWE-789).
