NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby3.4-fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset-1.16 package and not the ruby3.4-fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset-1.16 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. In versions prior to 3.17.2, Oj::Parser in usual mode does not mark array_class and hash_class references during garbage collection, leading to Use-After-Free. If GC runs after the class is assigned but before a parse, the class object is reclaimed, leaving the parser holding a dangling VALUE. The subsequent parse call dereferences the freed object, producing a segfault. This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2.
