SCA: security update for oj (GHSA-2cw7-v8ff-p88r)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443648

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. Prior to version
 3.17.2, disabling symbol_keys on a reused Oj::Parser instance triggers a heap use-after-free. When
 symbol_keys is toggled from true to false, opt_symbol_keys_set frees the internal key cache (cache_free)
 but does not clear the pointer. The next parse call reads from the freed cache via cache_intern, producing
 a use-after-free. This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2. (CVE-2026-54899)

Solution

Update the oj library and its related packages to version 3.17.3 or later.
