## Overview

An issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind prior to 2.7.9.4, 2.8.11.2, and 2.9.6. When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property), the service has the Oracle JDBC jar in the classpath, and an attacker can provide an LDAP service to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload.

## Affected

- `jackson-databind >= 2.7.0, < 2.7.9.4`
- `jackson-databind >= 2.8.0, < 2.8.11.2`
- `jackson-databind >= 2.9.0, < 2.9.6`
- `debian_linux = 9.0`
- `fedora = 29`
- `jd_edwards_enterpriseone_tools = 9.2`
- `retail_merchandising_system = 15.0`
- `automation_manager = 7.3.1`
- `decision_manager = 7.3.1`
- `jboss_brms = 6.4.10`
- `jboss_enterprise_application_platform = 7.2.0`
- `openshift_container_platform = 3.11`
- `single_sign-on = 7.3`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `jackson-databind 2.9.6`
