Notes
Title of the patch: Security update for cJSON
Description of the patch: This update for cJSON fixes the following issues:
- Update to version 1.7.19
* Check for NULL in cJSON_DetachItemViaPointer.
* Check overlap before calling strcpy in cJSON_SetValuestring.
* Fix Max recursion depth for cJSON_Duplicate to prevent stack
exhaustion.
* Allocate memory for the temporary buffer when paring numbers.
This fixes CVE-2023-26819. (bsc#1241502)
* Fix the incorrect check in decode_array_index_from_pointer.
This fixes CVE-2025-57052. (bsc#1249112)
- Remove not longer needed patch for NULL to deallocated pointers.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
