Oracle Linux: CVE-2025-52999: ELSA-2025-12280: jackson-annotations, jackson-core, jackson-databind, jackson-jaxrs-providers, and jackson-modules-base security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

jackson-core contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by Jackson Data Processor. In versions prior to 2.15.0, if a user parses an input file and it has deeply nested data, Jackson could end up throwing a StackoverflowError if the depth is particularly large. jackson-core 2.15.0 contains a configurable limit for how deep Jackson will traverse in an input document, defaulting to an allowable depth of 1000. jackson-core will throw a StreamConstraintsException if the limit is reached. jackson-databind also benefits from this change because it uses jackson-core to parse JSON inputs. As a workaround, users should avoid parsing input files from untrusted sources.
A nested data handling flaw was found in Jackson Core. When parsing particularly deeply nested data structures, a StackoverflowError can occur.
