Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-04-20 09:20:39 UTC 
From ${URL} :

A vulnerability was found in jq. There was an off-by one error, as the NUL terminator byte was not allocated on resize. A maliciously crafted JSON file could cause the application to crash.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

Ebuild is already stable, no vulnerable version left in repository.

New GLSA created.
