  "details": "Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. In versions prior to 3.17.3, Oj::Doc#each_child, when invoked recursively over a deeply nested JSON document, overflows a fixed-size stack buffer and aborts the process, leading to DoS.  In a two-step chain in ext/oj/fast.c, doc_each_child increments doc-\u003ewhere past the where_path[MAX_STACK = 100] array with no bounds check and never restores it (the doc-\u003ewhere-- is missing), so calling each_child recursively from inside the yield block drives doc-\u003ewhere beyond the array. On the next entry  the function copies the path into the 800-byte stack-local buffer save_path[MAX_STACK]  using wlen = doc-\u003ewhere - doc-\u003ewhere_path, so when the previous recursive call left doc-\u003ewhere past where_path[100] the wlen exceeds MAX_STACK and  the memcpy overflows save_path on the C stack; because the Oj::Doc parser imposes no JSON nesting-depth limit (relying on a C-stack pressure check), deeply nested attacker input reaches this path. This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.3.",
