NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ujson package and not the ujson package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

UltraJSON is a fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C with bindings for Python 3.7+. In versions prior to 5.4.0 an error occurring while reallocating a buffer for string decoding can cause the buffer to get freed twice. Due to how UltraJSON uses the internal decoder, this double free is impossible to trigger from Python. This issue has been resolved in version 5.4.0 and all users should upgrade to UltraJSON 5.4.0. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
