CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-94  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

The json gem is a JSON implementation as a Ruby extension in C.

Affected versions of this Gem contain an overflow condition. This is triggered when user-supplied input is not properly validated while handling specially crafted data. This can allow a remote attacker to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
