CVE-2014-5256  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade nodejs/node to version 0.8.28, 0.10.30 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Node.js 0.8 before 0.8.28 and 0.10 before 0.10.30 does not consider the possibility of recursive processing that triggers V8 garbage collection in conjunction with a V8 interrupt, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via deep JSON objects whose parsing lets this interrupt mask an overflow of the program stack.
