CVE-2020-8840

A flaw was found in FasterXML jackson-databind in versions 2.0.0 through 2.9.10.2. A "gadget" exploit is possible due to a lack of a Java object being blocking from being deserialized. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform ships OpenDaylight, which contains the vulnerable jackson-databind. However, OpenDaylight does not expose jackson-databind in a way that would make it vulnerable, lowering the impact of the vulnerability for OpenDaylight. As such, Red Hat will not be providing a fix for OpenDaylight at this time.

While OpenShift Container Platform's elasticsearch plugins do ship the vulnerable component, it doesn't do any of the unsafe things described in https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3279231. We may update the jackson-databind dependency in a future release.

Red Hat Satellite 6 does not enable polymorphic deserialization which is a required configuration for the vulnerability to be used. We may update the jackson-databind dependency in a future release.
