Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2023-35116

medium Nessus Plugin ID 226748

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - jackson-databind through 2.15.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact via a crafted object that uses cyclic dependencies. NOTE: the vendor's perspective is that this is not a valid vulnerability report, because the steps of constructing a cyclic data structure and trying to serialize it cannot be achieved by an external attacker. (CVE-2023-35116)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
