Greg Mann updated MESOS-3698:
-----------------------------
Sprint: Mesosphere Sprint 21
> JSON parsing allows non-whitespace trailing characters
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-3698
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-3698
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Greg Mann
> Assignee: Greg Mann
> Labels: mesosphere
>
> Picojson supports a streaming mode in which a stream containing a series of
> JSON values can be repeatedly parsed. For this reason, it does not return an
> error when passed a string containing a valid JSON value followed by
> non-whitespace trailing characters.
> However, in addition to the four-argument {{picojson::parse()}} that we're
> using, picojson contains a two-argument {{parse()}} function
> (https://github.com/kazuho/picojson/blob/master/picojson.h#L938-L942) which
> accepts a {{std::string}} and should probably validate its input to ensure it
> doesn't contain trailing characters. A pull request has been filed for this
> change at https://github.com/kazuho/picojson/pull/70 and if it's merged, we
> can switch to the two-argument function call. In the meantime, we should
> provide such input validation ourselves in {{JSON::parse()}}.
