Changelog for libjson-c5-0.16-2.9.x86_64.rpm :

* Wed Apr 20 2022 infoAATTpaolostivanin.com- Update to 0.16: + Deprecated and removed features:
* JSON_C_OBJECT_KEY_IS_CONSTANT is deprecated in favor of JSON_C_OBJECT_ADD_CONSTANT_KEY
* Direct access to lh_table and lh_entry structure members is deprecated. Use access functions instead, lh_table_head(), lh_entry_next(), etc...
* Drop REFCOUNT_DEBUG code. + Changes and bug fixes
* Cap string length at INT_MAX to avoid various issues with very long strings.
* json_object_deep_copy: fix deep copy of strings containing \'\\0\'
* Fix read past end of buffer in the \"json_parse\" command
* Avoid out of memory accesses in the locally provided vasprintf() function (for those platforms that use it)
* Handle allocation failure in json_tokener_new_ex
* Fix use-after-free in json_tokener_new_ex() in the event of printbuf_new() returning NULL
* printbuf_memset(): set gaps to zero - areas within the print buffer which have not been initialized by using printbuf_memset
* printbuf: return -1 on invalid arguments (len < 0 or total buffer > INT_MAX)
* sprintbuf(): propagate printbuf_memappend errors back to the caller
* Validate size arguments in arraylist functions.
* Use getrandom() if available; with GRND_NONBLOCK to allow use of json-c very early during boot, such as part of cryptsetup.
* Use arc4random() if it\'s available.
* random_seed: on error, continue to next method instead of exiting the process
* Close file when unable to read from /dev/urandom in get_dev_random_seed()
* Speed up parsing by replacing ctype functions with simplified, faster non-locale-sensitive ones in json_tokener and json_object_to_json_string.
* Neither vertical tab nor formfeed are considered whitespace per the JSON spec
* json_object: speed up creation of objects, calloc() -> malloc() + set fields
* Avoid needless extra strlen() call in json_c_shallow_copy_default() and json_object_equal() when the object is known to be a json_type_string.
* Wed May 19 2021 fstrbaAATTsuse.com- Add -std=gnu99 to fix build with some gcc versions
* Mon Aug 17 2020 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 0.15:
* Deprecate `array_list_new()` in favor of `array_list_new2()`
* Remove the THIS_FUNCTION_IS_DEPRECATED define.
* Remove config.h.win32
* Add a `JSON_TOKENER_ALLOW_TRAILING_CHARS` flag to allow multiple objects to be parsed even when `JSON_TOKENER_STRICT` is set.
* Add `json_object_new_array_ext(int)` and `array_list_new_2(int)` to allow arrays to be allocated with the exact size needed, when known.
* Add `json_object_array_shrink()` (and `array_list_shrink()`) and use it in json_tokener to minimize the amount of memory used.
* Add a json_parse binary, for use in testing changes (not installed, but available in the apps directory).
* Split the internal json_object structure into several sub-types, one for each json_type (json_object_object, json_object_string, etc...). This improves memory usage and speed, with the benchmark under bench/ report 5.8% faster test time and 6%(max RSS)-12%(peak heap) less memory usage. Memory used just for json_object structures decreased 27%, so use cases with fewer arrays and/or strings would benefit more.
* Minimize memory usage in array handling in json_tokener by shrinking arrays to the exact number of elements parsed. On bench/ benchmark: 9% faster test time, 39%(max RSS)-50%(peak heap) less memory usage. Add json_object_array_shrink() and array_list_shrink() functions.
* #616 - Parsing of surrogate pairs in unicode escapes now properly handles incremental parsing.
* Fix incremental parsing of numbers, especially those with exponents, e.g. so parsing \"[0\", \"e+\", \"-]\" now properly returns an error. Strict mode now rejects missing exponents (\"0e\").
* Successfully return number objects at the top level even when they are followed by a \"-\", \".\" or \"e\". This makes parsing things like \"123-45\" behave consistently with things like \"123xyz\".
* #589 - Detect broken RDRAND during initialization; also, fix segfault in the CPUID check.
* #592 - Fix integer overflows to prevert out of bounds write on large input.
* Protect against division by zero in linkhash, when creaed with zero size.
* #602 - Fix json_parse_uint64() internal error checking, leaving the retval untouched in more failure cases.
* #614 - Prevent truncation when custom double formatters insert extra \\0\'s- remove 0001-Detect-broken-RDRAND-during-initialization.patch (upstream)
* Wed Jun 17 2020 dcermakAATTsuse.com- Add upstream fix for boo#1173022

* Thu Dec 28 2017 avindraAATTopensuse.org- json-c 0.13 + Deprecated and removed features:
* Internal use of bits.h has been eliminated.
* lh_abort() is deprecated + Behavior changes:
* Tighten the number parsing algorithm to raise errors instead of truncating the results. For example 12.3.4 or 2015-01-15, which now return null.
* Use size_t for array length and size. Platforms where sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(int) may not be backwards compatible

* Serialization format of doubles now configurable
* New functions - json_object_equal() - utility function for comparing json_objects - json_object_deep_copy() - a way to copy entire object trees - json_object_set_() - modify the value of existing json_object\'s without the need to recreate them. Also add a json_object_int_inc function to adjust an int\'s\' value. - json_util_get_last_err() - retrieve the string describing the cause of errors, instead of printing to stderr. - perllike hash function for strings
* json_global_set_string_hash()
* json_c_visit() - a way to iterate over a tree of json-c objects. + Notable bug fixes and other improvements:
* Make reference increment and decrement atomic to allow passing json objects between threads.
* Fix json_object_object_foreach to avoid uninitialized variable warnings.
* Improve performance by removing unneeded data items from hashtable code and reducing duplicate hash computation.
* Performance: store small strings inside json_object
* Performance: of json_object_to_json_string by removing variadic printf
* Fix parsing of \"-Infinity\", and avoid needlessly copying the input when doing so.
* Fix stack buffer overflow in json_object_double_to_json_string_format()
* Fix various potential null ptr deref and int32 overflows
* Fix a long-standing bug in array_list_put_idx() where it would attempt to free previously free\'d entries due to not checking the current array length.

* Fix out of bounds read when handling unicode surrogate pairs.
* Ensure doubles that happen to be a whole number are emitted with \".0\"
* Visual Studio: use a snprintf/vsnprintf wrapper that ensures the string is terminated.

* Thu Mar 23 2017 mliskaAATTsuse.cz- Added gcc7-fix.patch
* Mon Jul 18 2016 rpmAATTfthiessen.de- Update to upstream release 0.12.1- Removed upstream fixed json-c-0.12-unused_variable_size.patch- Added fix-set-but-not-used.patch
* Sat Sep 20 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- json-c 0.12 Fixes for security issues contained in this release have been previously patched into this package, but listed for completeness:
* Address security issues:
* CVE-2013-6371: hash collision denial of service
* CVE-2013-6370: buffer overflow if size_t is larger than int- Further changes:
* Avoid potential overflow in json_object_get_double
* Eliminate the mc_abort() function and MC_ABORT macro.
* Make the json_tokener_errors array local. It has been deprecated for a while, and json_tokener_error_desc() should be used instead.
* change the floating point output format to %.17g so values with more than 6 digits show up in the output.
* Remove the old libjson.so name compatibility support. The library is only created as libjson-c.so now and headers are only installed into the ${prefix}/json-c directory.
* When supported by the linker, add the -Bsymbolic-functions flag.
* Make strict mode more strict:
* number must not start with 0
* no single-quote strings
* no comments
* trailing char not allowed
* only allow lowercase literals
* Added a json_object_new_double_s() convenience function to allow an exact string representation of a double to be specified when creating the object and use it in json_tokener_parse_ex() so a re-serialized object more exactly matches the input.
* Add support NaN and Infinity- packaging changes:
* json-c-hash-dos-and-overflow-random-seed-4e.patch is upstream
* Move from json-c-lfs.patch which removed warning errors and autoconf call to json-c-0.12-unused_variable_size.patch from upstream which fixes the warning
* except for SLE 11 where autoreconf call is required
* add licence file to main package
* Mon Apr 07 2014 idonmezAATTsuse.com- Add json-c-hash-dos-and-overflow-random-seed-4e.patch to fix CVE-2013-6370 and CVE-2013-6371 (bnc#870147)
