Ion Java StackOverflow vulnerability

Quick fix

GHSA-264p-99wq-f4j6 — com.amazon.ion:ion-java: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

# pom.xml: bump <version>1.10.5</version> for com.amazon.ion:ion-java

Details

### Impact

A potential denial-of-service issue exists in `ion-java` for applications that use `ion-java` to:

* Deserialize Ion text encoded data, or * Deserialize Ion text or binary encoded data into the `IonValue` model and then invoke certain `IonValue` methods on that in-memory representation.

An actor could craft Ion data that, when loaded by the affected application and/or processed using the `IonValue` model, results in a `StackOverflowError` originating from the `ion-java` library.

Impacted versions: <1.10.5

### Patches

The patch is included in `ion-java` >= 1.10.5.

### Workarounds

Do not load data which originated from an untrusted source or that could have been tampered with. **Only load data you trust.**
