Description

Tencent RapidJSON is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to an integer underflow in the `GenericReader::ParseNumber()` function of `include/rapidjson/reader.h` when parsing JSON text from a stream. An attacker needs to send the victim a crafted file which needs to be opened; this triggers the integer underflow vulnerability (when the file is parsed), leading to elevation of privilege.
A flaw was found in rapidjson. Processing a crafted JSON text from a stream can cause an integer overflow in the GenericReader::ParseNumber function in the include/rapidjson/reader.h file, resulting in escalation of privileges.
