GHSA-8rfx-6mr3-5jh3: Duplicate Advisory: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions in Newtonsoft.Json

January 3, 2024 (updated September 6, 2024)

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-5crp-9r3c-p9vr. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

Newtonsoft.Json before version 13.0.1 is affected by a mishandling of exceptional conditions vulnerability. Crafted data that is passed to the JsonConvert.DeserializeObject method may trigger a StackOverflow exception resulting in denial of service. Depending on the usage of the library, an unauthenticated and remote attacker may be able to cause the denial of service condition.
