[ruby-core:108239] [Ruby master Bug#18728] Segfault since ruby 3.0.4 when parsing JSON

Issue #18728 has been updated by peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu).

Status changed from Open to Third Party's Issue

Thank you for the report. The script works fine on Ruby's builtin JSON gem. I can reproduce the crash when I install flori/json. From the stack trace generated, the crash originates from the C extension binary in flori/json, so it's likely a bug in flori/json.

If, through further debugging, you find bugs in the Ruby C API, please open a separate issue for that.

Bug #18728: Segfault since ruby 3.0.4 when parsing JSON
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18728#change-97258

* Author: fschwahn (Fabian Schwahn)
* Status: Third Party's Issue
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 3.0.4p208 (2022-04-12 revision 3fa771dded) [x86_64-darwin21]
* Backport: 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
This is a regression since 3.0.4. When parsing a JSON with an empty string as a key ruby segfaults.

Reproduction steps:
```
require "json"
puts JSON.parse('{ "": "foo" }')
```

leads to

```
RSTRING_PTR is returning NULL!! SIGSEGV is highly expected to follow immediately. If you could reproduce, attach your debugger here, and look at the passed string.

```

The same script completes in ruby 3.0.3 and prior.

I also opened an issue with the `json`-gem (https://github.com/flori/json/issues/495), but as it broke with the ruby update it seems to be a bug in ruby itself?
