Description

uuid: Missing buffer bounds check in v3/v5/v6 when buf is provided
Description
v3, v5, and v6 accept external output buffers but do not reject out-of-range writes (small buf or large offset). By contrast, v4, v1, and v7 explicitly throw RangeError on invalid bounds.

This inconsistency allows silent partial writes into caller-provided buffers.
