Description

jackson-databind through 2.15.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact via a crafted object that uses cyclic dependencies. NOTE: the vendor's perspective is that this is not a valid vulnerability report, because the steps of constructing a cyclic data structure and trying to serialize it cannot be achieved by an external attacker.

Affected products

• FasterXML jackson-databind: before 2.16.0 — fixed in 2.16.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: FasterXML jackson-databind 2.16.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
