Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2014-3782
2014-03-12 09:20:23
——————————————————————————–

Name : jansson
Product : Fedora 19
Version : 2.6
Release : 1.fc19
URL : http://www.digip.org/jansson/
Summary : C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data
Description :
Small library for parsing and writing JSON documents.

——————————————————————————–
Update Information:

Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team found that the
hashing implementation in Jansson, a library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data, was susceptible to predictable hash collisions.

A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause an application using Jansson to use an excessive amount of CPU time by sending a crafted JSON document containing a large number of parameters whose names map to the same hash value. (CVE-2013-6401)
