Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: perl-JSON-XS security update

Notes

Topic

An update for perl-JSON-XS is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. 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.

Details

This module converts Perl data structures to JSON and vice versa. Its primary goal is to be correct and its secondary goal is to be fast. To reach the latter goal it was written in C. Security Fix(es): * JSON-XS: integer buffer overflow causing a segfault when parsing crafted JSON (CVE-2025-40928) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
