AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: pki-jackson-core (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1764235184)

high Nessus Plugin ID 361515

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1764235184 advisory.

 - jackson-core contains core low-level incremental (streaming) parser and generator abstractions used by Jackson Data Processor. In versions prior to 2.15.0, if a user parses an input file and it has deeply nested data, Jackson could end up throwing a StackoverflowError if the depth is particularly large.
 jackson-core 2.15.0 contains a configurable limit for how deep Jackson will traverse in an input document, defaulting to an allowable depth of 1000. jackson-core will throw a StreamConstraintsException if the limit is reached. jackson-databind also benefits from this change because it uses jackson-core to parse JSON inputs. As a workaround, users should avoid parsing input files from untrusted sources.
 (CVE-2025-52999)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected pki-jackson-core package based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1764235184.
