CVE-2022-42003: High severity fasterxml jackson-databind vulnerability

Published Oct 2, 2022
·
Updated

A flaw was found in FasterXML jackson-databind. This issue could allow an attacker to benefit from resource exhaustion when the UNWRAPSINGLEVALUEARRAYS feature is enabled due to unchecked primitive value deserializers to avoid deep wrapper array nesting.

Other sources

In FasterXML jackson-databind 2.4.0-rc1 until 2.12.7.1 and in 2.13.x before 2.13.4.2 resource exhaustion can occur because of a lack of a check in primitive value deserializers to avoid deep wrapper array nesting, when the UNWRAPSINGLEVALUEARRAYS feature is enabled. This was patched in 2.12.7.1, 2.13.4.2, and 2.14.0.

Commits that introduced vulnerable code are https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/commit/d499f2e7bbc5ebd63af11e1f5cf1989fa323aa45, https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/commit/0e37a39502439ecbaa1a5b5188387c01bf7f7fa1, and https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/commit/7ba9ac5b87a9d6ac0d2815158ecbeb315ad4dcdc.

Fix commits are https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/commit/cd090979b7ea78c75e4de8a4aed04f7e9fa8deea and https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/commit/d78d00ee7b5245b93103fef3187f70543d67ca33.

The 2.13.4.1 release does fix this issue, however it also references a non-existent jackson-bom which causes build failures for gradle users. See https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/3627#issuecomment-1277957548 for details. This is fixed in 2.13.4.2 which is listed in the advisory metadata so that users are not subjected to unnecessary build failures

— GitHub

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 UNWRAPSINGLEVALUEARRAYS feature is enabled. Additional fix version in 2.13.4.1 and 2.12.17.1

In FasterXML jackson-databind before versions 2.13.4.1 and 2.12.17.1, resource exhaustion can occur because of a lack of a check in primitive value deserializers to avoid deep wrapper array nesting, when the UNWRAPSINGLEVALUEARRAYS feature is enabled.
