How to fix?

Upgrade tools.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-smile to version 3.1.7, 3.2.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value n the _startRawBinary and _finishRawBinaryLen methods of the NonBlockingByteArrayParser class. An attacker can crash the processing thread with an OutOfMemoryError or a NegativeArraySizeException by sending a Smile message of about 10 bytes with a raw binary length that is very large or overflows, because the parser allocates a byte[] of that size before reading the body. Only applications that pass untrusted Smile data to the async (non-blocking) parser are affected, such as WebFlux, Vert.x, or Micronaut endpoints.
