Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that YAJL was not properly performing bounds checks when
 decoding a string with escape sequences. If a user or automated system
 using YAJL were tricked into processing specially crafted input, an
 attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service
 (application abort). (CVE-2017-16516)

 It was discovered that YAJL was not properly handling memory allocation
 when dealing with large inputs, which could lead to heap memory
 corruption. If a user or automated system using YAJL were tricked into
 running a specially crafted large input, an attacker could possibly use
 this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-24795)

 It was discovered that memory leaks existed in one of the YAJL parsing
 functions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
 service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2023-33460)");
