java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

[marll]

Hi,
in the server/client application the server send 49678 byte (the error also occurs with smaller sizes )
In the client application:
java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException: -15858

Following the function in error:
private void processBytes(short n, Consumer consumer, Charset charset, ByteOrder order) {
int length = order == ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN ? Short.reverseBytes(n) : n;

    read(Byte.BYTES * (length & 0xFFFF), buffer -> {
        var b = new byte[length];
        buffer.get(b);
        consumer.accept(new String(b, charset));
    }, order);
}

Which is the problem?
Many Thanks
