**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** jq versions prior to 1.8.2 **Description** Unbounded recursion in the `jv object merge recursive()` function allows a specially crafted program to crash the process with a segmentation fault (segfault), which is an error occurring when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access. This issue is reachable through the '*' operator when both operands are objects. **Recommendations** Update to version 1.8.2 or later.
