🦉 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

[bwappsec]

This upgrade of the Jackson libraries from version 2.19.2 to 2.21.2 is a minor version update that introduces a change in the minimum required Java version and includes other new features and fixes.

Key Changes:

• Java Version Requirement: Starting with version 2.20.0, Jackson requires Java 8 or later, dropping support for Java 6.
• Kotlin Module: For users of jackson-module-kotlin, version 2.21.0 removes the deprecated MissingKotlinParameterException and the old StrictNullChecks backend.
• Long-Term Support (LTS): Version 2.21.x is designated as an LTS release, meaning it will receive maintenance updates for a longer period.
• New Features: The update includes new modules like jackson-datatype-hibernate7 and jackson-module-spi-subtypes.
• Security Fixes: The releases include various bug and security fixes, such as a patch for vulnerability GHSA-2m67-wjpj-xhg9 in version 2.21.2.

Recommendation:
The risk is assessed as medium primarily due to the drop in support for Java 6. Before upgrading, verify that your project is running on Java 8 or a more recent version. If you are using the jackson-module-kotlin, review your code for usage of the removed StrictNullChecks backend or MissingKotlinParameterException.
