  - decNumberCopy in decNumber.c in jq through 1.7.1 does not properly consider that NaN is interpreted as
    numeric, which has a resultant stack-based buffer overflow and out-of-bounds write, as demonstrated by use
    of --slurp with subtraction, such as a filter of .-. when the input has a certain form of digit string
    with NaN (e.g., 1 NaN123 immediately followed by many more digits). (CVE-2024-53427)
