Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:1098-01

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1098.html

Issue date: 2016-05-23

CVE Names: CVE-2015-8863

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for jq is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack

Platform 6.0 (Juno) for RHEL 7.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from

the CVE link(s) in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0 (Juno) for RHEL 7 - x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. jq is like

sed for JSON data. You can use it to slice, filter, map, or transform

structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep, or similar

applications allow you to manipulate text.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in jq's tokenadd() function.

By tricking a victim into processing a specially crafted JSON file, an

attacker could use this flaw to crash jq or, potentially, execute arbitrary

code on the victim's system. (CVE-2015-8863)
