How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Echo:latest 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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Cpanel::JSON::XS versions before 4.80 for Perl allow memory exhaustion by buffering incremental input past max_size in incr_parse.

The parser appends each chunk to its buffer. In scalar or list context, it compares max_size with how far it has progressed, not with the buffer length. A chunk that starts with a NUL byte stops the parser before it progresses, and a call in void context skips the check, so the buffer grows without limit.

A peer streaming data to an incr_parse consumer can exhaust process memory regardless of max_size.
