multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Oj::Doc#each_child, when invoked recursively over a deeply nested JSON document, overflows a fixed-size
    stack buffer and aborts the process, leading to DoS. (CVE-2026-54592)

  - Oj.load in :object mode reads uninitialized stack memory (and, for long keys, reads out of bounds) when
    parsing a JSON object whose key is 254 bytes or longer. The interned bytes can surface to the caller,
    disclosing process stack memory. (CVE-2026-54500)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
