Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Jackson Core versions 3.0.0 up to but not including 3.1.1 (Maven tools.jackson.core:jackson-core) do not consistently enforce the StreamReadConstraints maxDocumentLength limit. Oversized JSON documents can be accepted without an error in blocking, async, and DataInput parsers, so an attacker sending untrusted JSON can bypass that size limit and drive up CPU and memory use. Upgrade to version 3.1.1, which is listed as the fixed version.
