CVE-2026-54900
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. In versions prior to 3.17.2, when in usual mode with create_id enabled, Oj::Parser#parse is vulnerable to heap corruption via a negative-size memcpy. When a JSON object key is exactly 65,535 bytes long, an integer truncation in form_attr (usual.c:63) converts the length to -1 before passing it to memcpy. This causes memcpy to copy SIZE_MAX bytes (interpreted as a huge size_t), corrupting heap memory and crashing the process. The issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2.

"value": "Oj (JSON Optimizado) es un analizador JSON y un serializador de objetos empaquetado como una gema de Ruby. En versiones anteriores a la 3.17.2, cuando está en modo usual con create_id habilitado, Oj::Parser#parse es vulnerable a la corrupción de la pila a través de un memcpy de tamaño negativo. Cuando una clave de objeto JSON tiene exactamente 65.535 bytes de longitud, un truncamiento de entero en form_attr (usual.c:63) convierte la longitud a -1 antes de pasarla a memcpy. Esto hace que memcpy copie SIZE_MAX bytes (interpretado como un size_t enorme), corrompiendo la memoria de la pila y bloqueando el proceso. El problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 3.17.2."
