{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-110688","details":"Cpanel::JSON::XS versions from 4.51 before 4.80 for Perl allow quadratic CPU use by revalidating the remaining buffer per value in incr_parse.  At the first non-ASCII byte in a string, the decoder validates UTF-8 from there to the end of its input. incr_parse decodes each buffered value with a fresh decoder, so every value revalidates the rest of the buffer, and doubling the input quadruples the work.  A peer that sends about a megabyte of ordinary non-ASCII JSON in one read ties up the process for seconds of CPU time.","modified":"2026-10-20T05:00:07.520731091Z","published":"2026-10-19T20:47:29.848898967Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-110688"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-110688"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libcpanel-json-xs-perl","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libcpanel-json-xs-perl?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4.35-1","4.35-1+deb12u1","4.36-1","4.37-1","4.38-1","4.39-1","4.39-2","4.39-2~deb13u1","4.40-1","4.41-1","4.42-1","4.51-1","4.80-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-110688.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libcpanel-json-xs-perl","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libcpanel-json-xs-perl?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4.39-1","4.39-2","4.39-2~deb13u1","4.40-1","4.41-1","4.42-1","4.51-1","4.80-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-110688.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libcpanel-json-xs-perl","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libcpanel-json-xs-perl?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["4.39-1","4.39-2","4.39-2~deb13u1","4.40-1","4.41-1","4.42-1","4.51-1","4.80-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-110688.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
