CVE-2021-46877: jackson-databind possible Denial of Service if using JDK serialization to serialize JsonNode

jackson-databind 2.10.x through 2.12.x before 2.12.6 and 2.13.x before 2.13.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (2 GB transient heap usage per read) in uncommon situations involving JsonNode JDK serialization.
