Descriptions
The parse_string function in cjson.c in the cJSON library mishandles UTF8/16 strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a non-hex character in a JSON string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
La función parse_string en cjson.c en la librería cJSON no maneja correctamente cadenas UTF8/16, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) o ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un carácter no hexadecimal en una cadena JSON, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica.
