Prashant Sharma commented on SPARK-32495:
-----------------------------------------

In general, upgrading the version of a dependency can have a serious impact on 
the downstream users. In the above case, both of the times you have mentioned 
CVEs were found to be fixed in the version that spark currently depends on. It 
might be the advisories database is not updated with it, I have tried to ping 
the issues for fixing that. 

Personally, I feel the version 2.6.x is not maintained by jackson community, it 
might be affected by some security vulnerabilities that are not mentioned by 
you. As we continue to release 2.4.x line, in my opinion we should move to a 
maintained version of jackson. Therefore, I am going to make a PR and seek the 
community approval for the same.
