1. Summary:

An update for jq is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8.0
(Liberty).

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8.0 (Liberty) - x86_64

3. Description:

jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. jq is like
sed for JSON data. You can use it to slice, filter, map, or transform
structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep, or similar
applications allow you to manipulate text.

Security Fix(es):

* A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in jq's tokenadd() function.
By tricking a victim into processing a specially crafted JSON file, an
attacker could use this flaw to crash jq or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code on the victim's system. (CVE-2015-8863)
