./converters/p5-JSON-XS, JSON serialising/deserialising, done correctly and fast

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.04nb1, Package name: p5-JSON-XS-4.04nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

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.

As this is the n-th-something JSON module on CPAN, what was the
reason to write yet another JSON module? While it seems there are
many JSON modules, none of them correctly handle all corner cases,
and in most cases their maintainers are unresponsive, gone missing,
or not listening to bug reports for other reasons.

Log message:
p5-JSON-XS: update to 4.04.

4.04 Fri 05 Sep 2025 23:59:48 CEST
        - fix heap overflow causing crashes, possibly information
          disclosure or worse (CVE-2025-40928), and causes JSON::XS to
          accept invalid JSON texts as valid in some cases. Thanks to
          Michael Hudak for finding this, the CPAN Security Group for
          coordinating this, and Reini Urban for double-checking the patch
          (and Peter Juhasz for potentially reporting this much earlier).
