Hi,

Tony, Markus, As it was already expected ;-). Upstream, whilst it
affects as well 2.10.0, seemigly is not considering doing an update
for 2.10 specifically but have fixed this one as well for older
versions. Previous point, that this is just going to start to be silly
upholds.

That said, let's follow with the usual information:

The following vulnerabilities were published for jackson-databind.

CVE-2019-16942[0]:
| A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-
| databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default Typing is enabled (either
| globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON
| endpoint and the service has the commons-dbcp (1.4) jar in the
| classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint to access,
| it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This
| issue exists because of
| org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource and
| org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.PerUserPoolDataSource mishandling.


CVE-2019-16943[1]:
| A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-
| databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default Typing is enabled (either
| globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON
| endpoint and the service has the p6spy (3.8.6) jar in the classpath,
| and an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint to access, it is
| possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue
| exists because of com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6DataSource mishandling.


If you fix the vulnerabilities please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) ids in your changelog entry.
