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.
