Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in UltraJSON, the worst of
which could lead to key confusion and value overwriting.

Background
==========

UltraJSON is an ultra fast JSON encoder and decoder written in pure C
with bindings for Python 3.8+.

Affected packages
=================

Package           Vulnerable    Unaffected
----------------  ------------  ------------
dev-python/ujson  < 5.4.0       >= 5.4.0

Description
===========

Affected versions were found to improperly decode certain characters.
JSON strings that contain escaped surrogate characters not part of a
proper surrogate pair were decoded incorrectly. Besides corrupting
strings, this allowed for potential key confusion and value overwriting
in dictionaries. All users parsing JSON from untrusted sources are
vulnerable. From version 5.4.0, UltraJSON decodes lone surrogates in the
same way as the standard library's `json` module does, preserving them
in the parsed output.

Impact
======

Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All UltraJSON users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/ujson-5.4.0"
