<description>
|
|
<p>An off-by-one error was discovered in the tokenadd function in
|
|
jv_parse.c which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker could trick a victim into processing a specially
|
|
crafted JSON file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code
|
|
with the privileges of the process. Additionally, a remote attacker
|
|
could cause a Denial of Service condition.

<workaround>

<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>

</workaround>
