NewCVE-2026-110685 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:14 libcpanel-json-xs-perl to version 4.80-1 or higher.
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:14 relevant fixed versions and status.
Cpanel::JSON::XS versions before 4.80 for Perl leak the decoded arguments of a tagged value when its THAW method dies in decode_tag.
With allow_tags, a tagged value's class name and argument array are decoded and passed to the class's THAW method. Both are released only after THAW returns, so a THAW that dies leaves the whole decoded argument structure allocated.
Each rejected document leaks data of a size the sender chooses, so a process that catches the error and keeps running exhausts its memory.
