  1. What version of Ehcache you are currently using; Ehcache-2.10.1.jar
  2. Add any name and version of other library or framework you use Ehcache with (e.g. Hibernate);
  3. Providing JDK and OS versions maybe useful as well : JDK : 1.8, OS: Linux and windows
  4. In ehcache-2.10.1.jar, I see a fasterxml-jackson-databind-module 2.3.3 dependency. There is a vulnerability on version below 2.8.0 of jackson-databind : CVE-2017-15095 (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-15095).

As there are significant changes in ehcache3 and we are not ready to upgrade,I would like to know if ehcache is impacted by this vulnerability of jackson. If so, how to overcome it?

Thanks,
Gouthami

If you are not using the cache server, you are fine.

If you are, I will need to investigate a bit more to be conclusive.

Henri, I believe he is using the ehcache 2.10.1 "fat jar", that includes the management rest agent.
Gouthami, you could at least upgrade to 2.10.4 
Then, maybe you could try to only depend on ehcache-core (https://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22net.sf.ehcache.internal%22%20AND%20a%3A%22ehcache-core%22), and add missing components on demand.
Thanks,
Anthony

Yes. You are right. But same answer. If you are not using (exposing) the REST agent, you are fine.

Hi Anthony,
Is cluster configuration supported with ehcache-core 2.10.5 jar ?

Regards,
Gouthami
