## Summary

flatcc, a C library for FlatBuffers that includes a JSON parser, is affected by this vulnerability. An attacker who supplies specially crafted JSON that ends right after a decimal point can cause the parser to read past the end of its input buffer, which may crash applications that use it.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- dvidelabs flatcc: through 0.6.4

## Description

flatcc through 0.6.4 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in __flatcc_json_parser_number that allows attackers to read past the input buffer via numbers ending in a decimal point. Attackers can supply untrusted JSON ending immediately after a decimal point to generated parsers, crashing applications when the buffer ends at an unmapped page.
