Machine-written summary

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

Jackson-core versions 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.13.0 are affected. When parsing JSON from a byte array with an offset, exception messages can include up to 500 bytes of unrelated memory from the start of the array, which may expose residual data in pooled or reused buffers if the message is returned to clients. Users should upgrade to jackson-core 2.13.0 or later; as a workaround, avoid returning parser exception messages to clients or disable source inclusion in exceptions.
