Debian Security Advisory DSA-3577-1 security@debian.org
https://www.debian.org/security/ Alessandro Ghedini
May 14, 2016 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : jansson
CVE ID : CVE-2016-4425
Debian Bug : 823238
Gustavo Grieco discovered that jansson, a C library for encoding,
decoding and manipulating JSON data, did not limit the recursion depth
when parsing JSON arrays and objects. This could allow remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (crash) via stack exhaustion, using crafted
JSON data.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.7-1+deb8u1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.7-5.
We recommend that you upgrade your jansson packages.
