The hash functionality in json-c before 0.12 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted JSON data, involving collisions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service issue in json-c, a JSON parsing library. Versions before 0.12 can spend excessive CPU processing specially crafted JSON that triggers hash collisions. The business risk is service slowdown or outage in software that accepts untrusted JSON and uses vulnerable json-c. Exposure is most likely in applications, appliances, or packaged software that embed or dynamically link json-c before 0.12 and parse attacker-controlled JSON. The bundle does not identify specific affected vendor products beyond json-c and downstream advisories. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or partner-facing services that parse JSON with old json-c. This is an availability risk, not a confirmed data compromise risk from the supplied evidence. Legacy systems and embedded dependencies deserve focused review. Mitigation focus: Upgrade json-c to version 0.12 or a vendor-fixed package.; Check Linux distribution advisories for backported json-c fixes.; Inventory statically bundled json-c copies, not only system packages..
