Summary

Insight
Insight
More Polymorphic Typing issues were discovered in jackson-databind. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has JDOM 1.x or 2.x or logback-core jar in the classpath, an attacker can send a specifically crafted JSON message that allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server.
Affected Software
Affected Software
'jackson-databind' package(s) on Debian Linux.

Solution

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.2-2+deb8u7. We recommend that you upgrade your jackson-databind packages.
