+Subject: [PATCH 5/8] Fix for CVE-2017-16516
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Description: Fix for CVE-2017-16516
+ Potential buffer overread: A JSON file can cause denial of service.
+Origin: https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/commit/a8ca8f476655adaa187eedc60bdc770fff3c51ce
+Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1040036
+Bug: https://github.com/lloyd/yajl/issues/248
+
+Patch taken from Debian package source
+
+NB, Fedora code can't trigger the reported aborts since it passes the
+-DNDEBUG flag, but pulling the fix for robustness in case a future
+change enables the assert()s.
