Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ruby-json.

CVE-2026-71847[0]:
| Ruby JSON is a JSON implementation for Ruby. From 2.20.0 until
| 2.21.2, Ruby's JSON native C extension clears the consumed
| JSON::ResumableParser input buffer but leaves state.start,
| state.cursor, and state.end pointing into released storage. When
| partial_value reconstructs an incomplete object containing duplicate
| keys, the duplicate-key warning path calls cursor_position, which
| dereferences those stale pointers. This results in a heap-use-after-
| free and can terminate the Ruby process. An attacker who can supply
| JSON stream data to an application using JSON::ResumableParser may
| cause process termination when the application calls partial_value
| on incomplete attacker-controlled input containing duplicate object
| keys. This issue has been fixed in version 2.21.2.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
