VUL-0: CVE-2024-38517: rapidjson: privilege escalation via integer underflow in GenericReader:ParseNumber()
Last modified: 2024-07-10 09:21:21 UTC
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.
