Debian DSA-5283-1 : jackson-databind - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 167911

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5283 advisory.

- jackson-databind before 2.13.0 allows a Java StackOverflow exception and denial of service via a large depth of nested objects. (CVE-2020-36518)

- In FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.14.0-rc1, resource exhaustion can occur because of a lack of a check in primitive value deserializers to avoid deep wrapper array nesting, when the UNWRAP_SINGLE_VALUE_ARRAYS feature is enabled. Additional fix version in 2.13.4.1 and 2.12.17.1 (CVE-2022-42003)

- In FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.13.4, resource exhaustion can occur because of a lack of a check in BeanDeserializer._deserializeFromArray to prevent use of deeply nested arrays. An application is vulnerable only with certain customized choices for deserialization. (CVE-2022-42004)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the jackson-databind packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2.12.1-1+deb11u1.
