Description
The CVE vulnerabilities 14718, CVE-2018-14719, CVE-2018-14720, CVE-2018-14721 have been reported against jackson-databind library 2.x versions below 2.9.7.
Whilst Apache Qpid Broker-J distributions include a version of jackson-databind that is affected by the vulnerability, it is believed that Apache Qpid Broker-J product itself is NOT AFFECTED by this vulnerability. This is because Broker-J code never enables Jackson's
polymorphic deserialisation features: specifically it never makes calls to ObjectMapper#enableDefaultTyping(...) nor does it use TypeResolverBuilders or annotations that enable the feature.
Though Apache Qpid Broker-J is not affected by the vulnerabilities, this JIRA will upgrade the dependencies of Broker-J to versions of the jackson-databind dependencies that are not vulnerable:
- master (upgrade from 2.9.5 to 2.9.8)
- 7.1.x (upgrade from 2.9.5 to 2.9.8)
- 7.0.x (upgrade from 2.8.11.1 to 2.8.11.3)
Please note that no upgrade of jackson-databind dependencies will be done for 6.0.x and 6.1.x versions. The 6.0.x and 6.1.x brokers can be upgraded to 7.1.x.
