news 28 Posted May 14, 2016 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-3577-1 security ( -at -) debian.org https://www.debian.org/security/ Alessandro Ghedini May 14, 2016 https://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : jansson CVE ID : CVE-2016-4425 Debian Bug : 823238 Gustavo Grieco discovered that jansson, a C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data, did not limit the recursion depth when parsing JSON arrays and objects. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via stack exhaustion, using crafted JSON data. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-1+deb8u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-5. We recommend that you upgrade your jansson packages.
