Comment 10 Brett Cave 2016-07-13 14:47:03 UTC
Who is responsible for updating the CVE / who initially submitted it? A check run against the database still shows 2.7.4 as vulnerable. 

On the upstream issue, the maintainers state that they were not involved with filing the CVE.

Comment 11 Brett Cave 2016-07-13 14:48:34 UTC
Is the CVE failing due to this issue still reflecting as "NEW". Should the status of this bug stay as New?

Comment 12 Tatu Saloranta 2016-08-16 17:59:09 UTC
Is there any chance to get status updated: Fixed (as per comments above) in 2.7.4, as well as 2.8.0 (and all later versions). As the author of Jackson I can provide more details if and as needed, but I am not sure what can be done at this point.

Comment 13 Jason Shepherd 2016-09-23 04:10:09 UTC
This flaw had the 'fixedin' field set to 2.7.4 since 22nd June, 2016. It seems they field is not being read by NVD. You might need to contact them directly.
