CVE-2024-23337
Description
A flaw was found in jq, a command line JSON processor. An integer overflow can occur when attempting to assign a value using an array index of 2147483647 or when creating an array with 2147483647 elements, the maximum value for a 32-bit signed integer. This issue causes out-of-bounds memory access and results in a denial of service.
Statement
To exploit this flaw, an attacker needs to trick a user into processing a specially crafted JSON input, allowing an attacker to trigger an integer overflow and cause a crash in jq with no other security impact. Due to these reasons, this flaw has been rated with a Moderate severity.
Mitigation
Do not process untrusted input with the jq command line JSON processor.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
