GHSA-866g-f22w-33x8: @ai-sdk/provider-utils has an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption issue

Summary

Versions of `@ai-sdk/provider-utils` before 3.0.28, from 4.0.0 before 4.0.33, and from 5.0.0 before 5.0.1 are vulnerable to uncontrolled resource consumption. The functions `createJsonResponseHandler`, `createJsonErrorResponseHandler`, and `createStatusCodeErrorResponseHandler` in `packages/provider-utils/src/response-handler.ts` read response bodies without a shared size limit, so a remote attacker with low privileges can cause excessive memory consumption. A public exploit has been disclosed.
