Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'rapidjson' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0371 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Tencent RapidJSON is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to an
integer underflow in the `GenericReader::ParseNumber()` function of
`include/rapidjson/reader.h` when parsing JSON text from a stream. An
attacker needs to send the victim a crafted file which needs to be
opened, this triggers the integer underflow vulnerability (when the file
is parsed), leading to elevation of privilege. (CVE-2024-38517)

Affected Software/OS:
'rapidjson' package(s) on Mageia 9.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
