Debian Security Advisory DSA-6336-1 [email protected]

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : jackson-core
CVE ID : CVE-2025-52999
Debian Bug : 1108367
A flaw was discovered in jackson-core, a fast and powerful JSON library for
Java, which may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by using deeply
nested JSON data.
Please note that related and complementary jackson-* packages like jackson-
databind or jackson-dataformat-smile had to be upgraded as well in
order to fix build failures caused by the changes to jackson-core.
For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.14.1-2~deb12u1.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.14.1-2~deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your jackson-core packages.
For the detailed security status of jackson-core please refer to
its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/jackson-core

these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
