Summary
Updated jq packages fix security vulnerabilities
Details

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in jq's tokenadd() function. By tricking a victim into processing a specially crafted JSON file, an attacker could use this flaw to crash jq or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the victim's system (CVE-2015-8863).

Stack exhaustion could affect availability when parsing untrusted input (CVE-2016-4074).
