Found in HEAD commit: 899028de2201d39f28dda5a25e06b3a547297a6c

Found in base branch: master

Vulnerability Details

The jackson-core package is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The methods in the classes listed below fail to restrict input size when performing numeric type conversions. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by causing the application to deserialize data containing certain numeric types with large values. Deserializing many of the aforementioned objects may cause the application to exhaust all available resources, resulting in a DoS condition.

Found in HEAD commit: 899028de2201d39f28dda5a25e06b3a547297a6c

Found in base branch: master

Vulnerability Details

jackson-core contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by Jackson Data Processor. In versions prior to 2.15.0, if a user parses an input file and it has deeply nested data, Jackson could end up throwing a StackoverflowError if the depth is particularly large. jackson-core 2.15.0 contains a configurable limit for how deep Jackson will traverse in an input document, defaulting to an allowable depth of 1000. jackson-core will throw a StreamConstraintsException if the limit is reached. jackson-databind also benefits from this change because it uses jackson-core to parse JSON inputs. As a workaround, users should avoid parsing input files from untrusted sources.

CVE-2022-40152

Vulnerable Library - woodstox-core-6.2.4.jar

Woodstox is a high-performance XML processor that implements Stax (JSR-173), SAX2 and Stax2 APIs

Found in HEAD commit: 899028de2201d39f28dda5a25e06b3a547297a6c

Found in base branch: master

Vulnerability Details

Those using Woodstox to parse XML data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS) if DTD support is enabled. If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack.

Found in base branch: master

Vulnerability Details

Jackson-core contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by Jackson Data Processor. Starting in version 2.0.0 and prior to version 2.13.0, a flaw in jackson-core's "JsonLocation._appendSourceDesc" method allows up to 500 bytes of unintended memory content to be included in exception messages. When parsing JSON from a byte array with an offset and length, the exception message incorrectly reads from the beginning of the array instead of the logical payload start. This results in possible information disclosure in systems using pooled or reused buffers, like Netty or Vert.x. This issue was silently fixed in jackson-core version 2.13.0, released on September 30, 2021, via PR #652. All users should upgrade to version 2.13.0 or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, applications can mitigate the issue by disabling exception message exposure to clients to avoid returning parsing exception messages in HTTP responses and/or disabling source inclusion in exceptions to prevent Jackson from embedding any source content in exception messages, avoiding leakage.
