How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:12 libcpanel-json-xs-perl.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcpanel-json-xs-perl package and not the libcpanel-json-xs-perl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Cpanel::JSON::XS versions from 4.28 before 4.80 for Perl leak the array collecting duplicate key values under dupkeys_as_arrayref in decode_hv.

With dupkeys_as_arrayref, the values of a duplicate object key are collected into a new array. An extra reference is never released, so the array and every value in it outlive the decoded structure. The array also leaks when decoding fails after a duplicate key.

Repeatedly decoding untrusted JSON with a duplicate key holding a large value exhausts process memory.
