Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in ReaderBasedJsonParser.java and UTF8DataInputJsonParser.java, when processing deeply nested data. A regression in 3.0 versions caused the StreamReadConstraints.maxNestingDepth setting for DataInput to not be checked, allowing resources to be overwhelmed by malicious inputs.
