Oj (Optimized JSON) is a JSON parser and Object marshaller packaged as a Ruby gem. In versions prior to 3.17.2, when in object mode, Oj.dump is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow when serializing Exception objects with a large :indent value. The serializer allocates a buffer sized for the object's attributes but does not account for the indent bytes added on each write. With indent: 5000, the accumulation of 5,000-byte indent strings overflows the 13,150-byte heap allocation, corrupting adjacent heap memory. This issue has been fixed in version 3.17.2.

GHSA-35w3-pjm6-wj95 — Oj: Heap Buffer Overflow in Oj.dump Exception Serialization via Large Indent

Affected: RubyGems: oj

### Summary

`Oj.dump` in object mode is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow when serializing Exception objects with a large `:indent` value. The serializer allocates a buffer sized for the object's attributes but does not account for the indent bytes added on each write. With `indent: 5000`, the accumulation of 5,000-byte indent strings overflows the 13,150-byte heap allocation, corrupting adjacent heap memory.

### Version

- **Software**: oj gem - **Affected**: all versions with `ext/oj/dump.h` - **Latest tested**: 3.17.1 (confirmed present)

### Details

`ext/oj/dump.h`, line 75–77:

```c static void fill_indent(Out out, int depth) { if (0 < out->opts->indent) { memset(out->buf + out->cur, ' ', (size_t)(out->opts->indent * depth)); ```

When dumping an Exception object in `:object` mode, `dump_obj_attrs` calls `fill_indent` repeatedly for each attribute. The buffer is pre-allocated based on the serialized content but not the indentation overhead. With `indent: 5000` the indent block for a nested object exceeds the remaining buffer space, producing a heap-buffer-overflow of size 5,000 at the end of the allocated region.
