# Can be replicated on kubectl with:
$ cat panic.json

"kind": "Pod",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "",
"labels": {
"name": ""
},
"generateName": "",

},
"spec": {}
},
$ kubectl create -f panic.json --validate=false
```
**Release note**:

```
This patch handles cases where `ioutil.ReadAll` will return a single
character output on an invalid json input, causing the `Decode` method
to panic when it tries to calculate the line number for the syntax
error. The example below would cause a panic due to the trailing comma
at the end:
```
{
"kind": "Pod",
"apiVersion": "v1",
"metadata": {
"name": "",
"labels": {
"name": ""
},
"generateName": "",
"namespace": "",
"annotations": []
},
"spec": {}
},
```
