Descriptions
Off-by-one error in the tokenadd function in jv_parse.c in jq allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long JSON-encoded number, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Error por un paso en la función tokenadd en jv_parse.c en jq permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de un número largo codificado en JSON, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in jq's tokenadd() function. By tricking a victim into processing a specially crafted JSON file, an attacker could use this flaw to crash jq or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the victim's system.
