Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2024-684
Advisory Release Date: 2024-08-01 04:06 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2024-08-06 15:00 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
Tencent RapidJSON is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to an integer underflow in the `GenericReader::ParseNumber()` function of `include/rapidjson/reader.h` when parsing JSON text from a stream. An attacker needs to send the victim a crafted file which needs to be opened; this triggers the integer underflow vulnerability (when the file is parsed), leading to elevation of privilege. (CVE-2024-38517)
