It was found that jackson-databind, a Java library used to parse JSON and other data formats, could deserialize data without proper validation, allowing a maliciously client to perform remote code execution on a service with the required characteristics.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.2-2+deb8u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your jackson-databind packages.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4813-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.5. Use of Jackson default typing     along with a gadget class from iBatis allows exfiltration of content. Fixed in 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, and     2.9.6. (CVE-2018-11307)

  - An issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind prior to 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, and 2.9.6. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property), the service has the Jodd-db jar (for     database access for the Jodd framework) in the classpath, and an attacker can provide an LDAP service to     access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. (CVE-2018-12022)

  - An issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind prior to 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, and 2.9.6. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property), the service has the Oracle JDBC jar in the     classpath, and an attacker can provide an LDAP service to access, it is possible to make the service     execute a malicious payload. (CVE-2018-12023)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.7 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by     leveraging failure to block the slf4j-ext class from polymorphic deserialization. (CVE-2018-14718)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.7 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by     leveraging failure to block the blaze-ds-opt and blaze-ds-core classes from polymorphic deserialization.
    (CVE-2018-14719)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.7 might allow attackers to conduct external XML entity (XXE)     attacks by leveraging failure to block unspecified JDK classes from polymorphic deserialization.
    (CVE-2018-14720)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.7 might allow remote attackers to conduct server-side request     forgery (SSRF) attacks by leveraging failure to block the axis2-jaxws class from polymorphic     deserialization. (CVE-2018-14721)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.8 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging     failure to block the axis2-transport-jms class from polymorphic deserialization. (CVE-2018-19360)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.8 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging     failure to block the openjpa class from polymorphic deserialization. (CVE-2018-19361)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.8 might allow attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging     failure to block the jboss-common-core class from polymorphic deserialization. (CVE-2018-19362)

  - A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint,     the service has the mysql-connector-java jar (8.0.14 or earlier) in the classpath, and an attacker can     host a crafted MySQL server reachable by the victim, an attacker can send a crafted JSON message that     allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server. This occurs because of missing     com.mysql.cj.jdbc.admin.MiniAdmin validation. (CVE-2019-12086)

  - FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9.1 might allow attackers to have a variety of impacts by     leveraging failure to block the logback-core class from polymorphic deserialization. Depending on the     classpath content, remote code execution may be possible. (CVE-2019-12384)

  - A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x through 2.9.9. 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 jar in the classpath, an attacker can send a specifically crafted JSON     message that allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server. (CVE-2019-12814)

  - SubTypeValidator.java in FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.9.9.2 mishandles default typing when ehcache     is used (because of net.sf.ehcache.transaction.manager.DefaultTransactionManagerLookup), leading to remote     code execution. (CVE-2019-14379)

  - A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9.2. This occurs     when Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON     endpoint and the service has the logback jar in the classpath. (CVE-2019-14439)

    (CVE-2019-16335)

  - A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and     the service has the commons-dbcp (1.4) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service     endpoint to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue exists     because of org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource and     org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.PerUserPoolDataSource mishandling. (CVE-2019-16942)

  - A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10.
