Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted JSON input that ends with a decimal point or implement input validation to reject such malformed numbers.
Description
flatcc versions up to 0.6.4 have an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the __flatcc_json_parser_number function. This flaw allows attackers to read beyond the input buffer when parsing JSON numbers that end with a decimal point. Supplying crafted JSON input ending immediately after a decimal point can cause the parser to access unmapped memory, leading to application crashes.
