NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby4.0-fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset-1.19-kinesis package and not the ruby4.0-fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset-1.19-kinesis package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. Prior to version 3.17.2, is vulnerable to Use-After-Free when in SAJ mode. The Oj::Parser does not protect cached object keys (≥ 35 bytes) from garbage collection, and a Ruby callback that triggers GC inside hash_end can cause the key string to be reclaimed while the C parser still holds a pointer to it. The subsequent access to the freed string VALUE results in a segfault, confirmed by an RIP pointing to address 0x4242 (a canary-style pattern suggesting control over the freed memory's content). This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2.
