CVE-2024-23337

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.

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.
