Machine-written summary

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

Versions 3.0.0 up to but not including 3.1.0 of jackson-core (tools.jackson.core:jackson-core) do not enforce the maxNestingDepth limit when parsing JSON from a java.io.DataInput source, and a similar gap exists in ReaderBasedJsonParser. An attacker who can supply a deeply nested JSON document to an application that parses it can trigger a StackOverflowError, causing a denial of service. Upgrade to jackson-core 3.1.0 or later; the source gives no workaround beyond avoiding untrusted input.
