Hi Avro folks,

A project I'm working on uses Avro and noticed this thread with the intent
to resolve the known CVE issues with jackson-* deps. From what I can
determine, an Avro release would need to wait for Jackson 2.15
<https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.15>. Is that
also your assessment?

I'm keen to see a 1.11.2 "CVE clean" release also, so big +1 from a random
user.

Kind regards, Eric
