Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Version 1.7.10-1.1 is the most recent version on stable, so many user depend on
it. The last release included a patch for CVE-2019-11835 (issue #338 on
upstream). However, this patch introduced a bug in the patched function
cJSON_Minify (issue #354 on upstream). There is a (potentail) infinite loop in
the relevant function. The issue has been fixed in commit
08d2bc766a82cd75764d036f9efef444590d1cf9
The fix is included in newer releases, so it is included on debian testing. 
I request to patch this issue on stable. The fix is very small (only two lines
of code).

Thanks for your help.
