Security Bulletin: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Jackson-Databind Affect IBM Global High Availability Mailbox

Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in jackson-databind affect IBM Global High Availability Mailbox (CVE-2018-1000873, CVE-2018-14719, CVE-2018-14718, CVE-2018-14720, CVE-2018-14721)

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-1000873
DESCRIPTION: FasterXML jackson-databind is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation by the nanoseconds time value field. By persuading a victim to deserialize specially-crafted input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/154804&gt; for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
