3. Description:
JSON-C implements a reference counting object model that allows you to
easily construct JSON objects in C, output them as JSON-formatted strings,
and parse JSON-formatted strings back into the C representation of
JSON objects.
Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in the way the json-c library
handled long strings in JSON documents. An attacker able to make an
application using json-c parse excessively large JSON input could cause the
application to crash. (CVE-2013-6370)
A denial of service flaw was found in the implementation of hash arrays in
json-c. An attacker could use this flaw to make an application using json-c
consume an excessive amount of CPU time by providing a specially crafted
JSON document that triggers multiple hash function collisions. To mitigate
this issue, json-c now uses a different hash function and randomization to
reduce the chance of an attacker successfully causing intentional
collisions. (CVE-2013-6371)
These issues were discovered by Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product
Security Team.
All json-c users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
