NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jawn-util package and not the jawn-util package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Jawn is an open source JSON parser. Prior to 1.7.0, Jawn's AsyncParser can perform quadratic work when a single JSON token is delivered across many small chunks because each absorb call rescans the incomplete token from the start. A remote attacker who controls untrusted JSON input and its chunk sizes can exhaust CPU resources and cause denial of service in applications using AsyncParser. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.0.
