Severity: Normal
Title: jq: Buffer overflow
Date: December 08, 2016
Bugs: #580606
ID: 201612-20
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
A buffer overflow in jq might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 app-misc/jq < 1.5-r2 >= 1.5-r2
Description
===========
An off-by-one error was discovered in the tokenadd function in
jv_parse.c which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Impact
======
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
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All jq users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=app-misc/jq-1.5-r2”
