Description:
Amazon Ion-C (ion-c) is the C implementation of the Amazon Ion data serialization format. It is distributed as an open-source library (amazon-ion/ion-c) that applications embed to read and write Ion text and binary data.
We identified CVE-2026-84851, an uncontrolled recursion issue in versions before 1.1.6 that might allow a remote unauthenticated actor to craft Ion data that exhausts the native call stack and crashes the application using the library, resulting in a denial of service.
Impacted versions: < 1.1.6
