arbitrary code execution in slf4j-ext class
CVE: CVE-2018-14718
Component: jackson-databind
CWE: CWE-502
Severity: Important
CVSS v3: 8.1/CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Release date: 2018-07-27T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was discovered in jackson-databind, where it would permit polymorphic deserialization of a malicious object using slf4j classes. An attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code.

Statement: This vulnerability in jackson-databind involves exploiting CVE-2018-1088 against slf4j, which was fixed in Red Hat products through the errata referenced at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-8088. Applications that link only slf4j versions including that fix are not vulnerable to this vulnerability.

Red Hat Satellite 6 is not affected by this issue, since its candlepin component doesn't bundle slf4j-ext jar.
