Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
jackson-databind (com.fasterxml.jackson.core) versions 2.0.0 to before 2.18.8, 2.19.0 to before 2.21.4, and 3.0.0 to before 3.1.4 perform DNS lookups for hostnames when deserializing InetSocketAddress fields.
